1 We are told that the Savior will come again,
And the heavens shall pass away;
Is your heart filled with joy, or with fear and pain,
When you think of that wondrous day?

Refrain:
Do, you tremble, are you sad?
When you think of the judgment day?
Do, you tremble, are you sad?
When you think of the judgment day?

2 As a thief in the night will that great day come
When the earth melts with fervent heat;
Will the Lord bid you enter the saints’ bright home?
Will you share in the joy complete? [Refrain]

3 Do you feel condemnation upon your soul?
Is your heart burdened sore alway?
Is there joy, or does sadness upon you roll,
When you think of the judgment day? [Refrain]

4 Our dear Lord is not willing that one should die,
But that all men in Him should live;
Trust in Him, and the dangers will pass you by;
Life eternal to you He’ll give. [Refrain]
