Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #329 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment, day of wonders,
Hark! the trumpet's awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round!
How the summons, how the summons,
Will the sinner's heart confound.
2 See the Judge our nature wearing,
Clothed in majesty divine!
You who long for His appearing,
Then shall say, "This God is mine!"
Gracious Saviour, gracious Saviour,
Own me on that day for Thine!
3 At His call the dead awaken,
Rise to life from earth and sea;
All the powers of nature, shaken
By His looks, prepare to flee:
Careless sinner, careless sinner,
What will then become of thee?
4 But to those who have confesséd,
Loved, and served the Lord below,
He will say, "Come near ye blesséd!
See the kingdom I bestow!
You forever, you forever
Shall my love and glory know." Topics: Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH, EHRENKÖNIG
