¶Liedtext

That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heav'n and earth shall pass away, What power shall be the sinner's stay, How shall he meet that dreadful day? When, shriv'lling 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. Oh! on that day, that wrathful day, When Man to judgement wakes from clay, Be Thou the trembling sinner's stay, Though heav'n and earth shall pass away.
