1 And will the Judge descend?
And must the dead arise
And not a single soul escape
His all-discerning eyes?
And must the dead arise
And not a single soul escape
His all-discerning eyes?
2 And from His righteous lips
Shall this dread sentence sound;
And, through the numerous guilty throng,
Spread black despair around?
Shall this dread sentence sound;
And, through the numerous guilty throng,
Spread black despair around?
3 "Depart from me accursed,
To everlasting flame,
For rebel angels first prepared,
Where mercy never came."
To everlasting flame,
For rebel angels first prepared,
Where mercy never came."
4 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heaven, before His face
Astonished shrink away?
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heaven, before His face
Astonished shrink away?
5 But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark, from the Gospel's cheering sound
What joyful tidings spread!
The mansions of the dead,
Hark, from the Gospel's cheering sound
What joyful tidings spread!
