The Day of Wrath

Thomas of Celano (13th cent.) • Sir Walter Scott (1805) • English

Primary Scripture: Job 21:30

Verse 1

That day of wrath, that dreadful day When heav'n and earth shall pass away! What pow'r shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day?

Verse 2

When, shriveling 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;

Verse 3

O on that day, that wrathful day When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be thou the trembling sinner's stay, Though heav'n and earth shall pass away.

Verse 4

Amen.
