1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day,
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?
2 When, shriveling like a parched scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll;
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Resounds the trump that wakes the dead:
3 Oh! on that day, that wrathful day,
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
