Текст пісні
That day of wrath, that dreadful day
When heav'n and earth shall pass away!
What pow'r shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?
Lo! Christ comes with clouds descending
Once for favored sinners slain!
Thousand, thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
God appears on Earth to reign
Ev'ry eye shall now behold him
Robed in dreadful majesty
Those who set at naught and sold him
Pierced and nailed him to a tree
Deeply wailing
Deeply wailing
Deeply wailing
Shall the true Messiah see
The dear tokens of his passion
Still his dazzling body bears
Cause of endless exultation
To his ransomed worshipers
With what rapture
With what rapture
With what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars
When, shriveling like a parched scroll
The flaming heav'ns together roll
When louder yet, and yet more dread
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead
O on that day, that wrathful day
When man to judgment wakes from clay
Be thou the trembling sinner's stay
Though heav'n and earth shall pass away
Yea! Amen! let all adore thee
High on thine eternal throne!
Savior, take the pow'r and glory
Claim the kingdom for thine own
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Everlasting God come down
Everlasting God come down
