Day Of Wrath
Author: Thomas of Celano, 13th century; Wentworth Dillon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16531 Meter: 8.8.8 First Line: The day of wrath, that dreadful day Lyrics:
1 The day of wrath, that dreadful day,
Shall the whole world in ashes lay,
As David and the Sibyls say.
2 What horror will invade the mind
When the strict Judge, who would be kind,
Shall have few venial faults to find.
3 The last loud trumpet’s wondrous sound
Shall through the rending tombs rebound,
And wake the nations under ground.
4 Nature and death shall with surprise
Behold the pale offender rise,
And view the Judge with conscious eyes.
5 Then shall, with universal dread,
The sacred, mystic book be read
To try the living and the dead.
6 The Judge ascends His awful throne;
He makes each secret sin be known,
And all with shame confess their own.
7 O then, what interest shall I make
To save my last important stake
When the most just have cause to quake!
8 Thou mighty, formidable King!
Thou mercy’s unexhausted spring,
Some comfortable pity bring!
9 Forget not what my ransom cost;
Nor let my dear-bought soul be lost.
In storms of guilty terrors tossed.
10 Thou who for me didst feel such pain,
Whose precious blood the cross did stain,
Let not these agonies be vain!
11 Thou whom avenging powers obey,
Cancel my debt, too great to pay,
Before the sad accounting day!
12 Surrounded with amazing fears,
Whose load my soul with anguish bears,
I sigh, I weep! accept my tears!
13 Thou who wert moved with Mary’s grief,
And by absolving of the thief
Hast giv’n me hope, now give relief!
14 Reject not my unworthy prayer;
Preserve me from the dangerous snare
Which death and gaping hell prepare.
15 Give my exalted soul a place
Among Thy chosen right-hand race,
The sons of God and heirs of grace.
16 From that insatiable abyss,
Where flames devour and serpents hiss,
Promote me to Thy seat of bliss.
17 Prostrate my contrite heart I rend,
My God, my father, and my friend:
Do not forsake me in my end!
18 Well may they curse their second breath
Who rise to a reviving death:
Let guilty man compassion find!

Thomas of Celano
1200 - 1265 Person Name: Thomas of Celano, 13th century Author (attributed to) of "Day Of Wrath" in The Cyber Hymnal Thomas of Celano was born at Celano in the Abruzzi, and joined St. Francis of Assisi c. 1214. He was commissioned by Gregory IX to write the life of St. Francis: the First Legend, 1229; the Second Legend, 1247; and the Tract on the Miracle of St. Francis a few years later. His Legend of St. Clare was composed in 1255. He was probably among the first band of friars to visit Germany, 1221.

===============================
Thomas of Celano. It is somewhat remarkable that neither the date of the birth nor of the death of this writer, whose name is so intimately associated with the Dies Irae, is on record. He was a native of Celano, a small town near the lake Fucino, in the farther Abruzzo, and hence his name of Thomas of Celano. Several of the inhabitants of this town were driven therefrom by Frederick II. in 1223, and Thomas with the rest. He found his way to Assisi, and became a monk there during the lifetime of St. Francis. The Franciscan Order was established in 1208, Thomas was therefore one of the early students at Assisi. He was subsequently "custos of the convents of Worms, Mentz, and Cologne, and afterwards sole custos of the Rhine districts." The last named appointment he held till 1230, when he returned to Assisi. As intimated above the date of his death is not on record. It is sometimes given as 1255. Thomas also wrote a Life of St. Francis.

U. C. Burnap
1834 - 1900 Person Name: Uzziah Christopher Burnap Composer of "INASMUCH" in The Cyber Hymnal Burnap ran a dry goods business in Brooklyn, though he graduated from the University of Paris with a music degree, and for 37 years played the organ at the Reformed Church in Brooklyn Heights. He was a prolific composer, and helped edit the following:
Hymns of the Church, 1869
Hymns of Prayer and Praise, 1871
Hymns and Songs of Praise, 1874
--The Cyber Hymnal™
There is uncertainty about his middle name. Reynolds and the Library of Congress say it was Christopher. A contemporary obituary relied on by "The Cyber Hymnal™" says it was Cicero. It appears that there was another Uzziah C[icero] Burnap who lived (per LOC) 1794-1854.
