There’s an awful day that’s coming, Soon we’ll feel the judgment shock; Then, poor sinner, seek a refuge In the Everlasting Rock.

Come, poor sinner, get salvation Ere all hope has fled away; Heed the warning, flee for refuge, Come to Jesus, come today.

O’er thy head thy sins are forming Into clouds of threatening storm; Hear the angry thunders rolling, Soon the woeful blast will come.

Come, poor sinner, get salvation Ere all hope has fled away; Heed the warning, flee for refuge, Come to Jesus, come today.

Stop, poor sinner, madly heaping Wrath against the day of wrath; At thy horror and thy weeping, Frowning judgment will but laugh.

Come, poor sinner, get salvation Ere all hope has fled away; Heed the warning, flee for refuge, Come to Jesus, come today.

Verse 4

Soon thy heart will stop its beating, Death, a sullen, awful flood, End thy days so short and fleeting; Quickly, sinner, come to God.

Come, poor sinner, get salvation Ere all hope has fled away; Heed the warning, flee for refuge, Come to Jesus, come today.

Sinner, in this very moment, Ere the billows sweep away Grieved and slighted hopes of Heaven, Flee for refuge while you may.

Come, poor sinner, get salvation Ere all hope has fled away; Heed the warning, flee for refuge, Come to Jesus, come today.
