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?
When, shrivelling like a parched scroll,
The flaming heavens 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 may to judgment wakes from clay,
Be Thou the trembling sinner�s stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away!

Be Thou the trembling sinner�s stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away!
