Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!

John Newton (1774) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 96:13

Verse 1

Day of judgment! Day of wonders! Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, louder than a thousand thunders, shakes the vast creation round. How the summons will the sinner's heart confound!

Verse 2

See the Judge, our nature wearing, clothed in majesty divine; you who long for his appearing then shall say, "This God is mine!" Gracious Savior, own me in that day as thine.

Verse 3

At his call the dead awaken, rise to life from earth and sea; all the pow'rs of nature, shaken by his looks, prepare to flee. Careless sinner, what will then become of thee?

Verse 4

But to those who have confessed, loved and served the Lord below, he will say, "Come near, ye blessed, see the kingdom I bestow; you forever shall my love and glory know."
