Escape the Judgment Day

D. S. Warner • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:9

Verse 1

We tread upon the awful verge Of judgment’s great and dreadful day; Its flames shall all the world submerge, And sweep the sinner’s hope away.

Chorus

Oh, the Lord is surely coming! Sinners lost shall melt away; Oh, repent this very moment, And escape the judgment day.

Verse 2

In all the earth, and in the sky, The hand of God his tokens writes; The coming of the Lord is nigh, O sinner, wake while love invites.

Chorus

Oh, the Lord is surely coming! Sinners lost shall melt away; Oh, repent this very moment, And escape the judgment day.

Verse 3

If God commanded men of yore, Behold, he cometh; watch and pray, To us he speaketh much the more, AS we approach the solemn day.

Chorus

Oh, the Lord is surely coming! Sinners lost shall melt away; Oh, repent this very moment, And escape the judgment day.

Verse 4

The day of vengeance has begun, A sword devours thro’ all the land; The tempest, hail and fire run, The final judgment is at hand.

Chorus

Oh, the Lord is surely coming! Sinners lost shall melt away; Oh, repent this very moment, And escape the judgment day.

Verse 5

We hear the rumbling of a crash, The crisis of eternity; The instant of that light’ning flash Will fix fore’er thy destiny.

Chorus

Oh, the Lord is surely coming! Sinners lost shall melt away; Oh, repent this very moment, And escape the judgment day.
