The Solemn Midnight Cry

Verse 1

Thou Judge of quick and dead, Before whose bar severe, With holy joy, or guilty dread, We all shall soon appear:

Verse 2

Our anxious souls prepare For that tremendous day; And fill us now with watchful care, And stir us up to pray:

Verse 3

To pray, and wait the hour, That awful hour unknown, When, robed in majesty and power, Thou shalt from heaven come down.

Verse 4

Oh, may we all be found Obedient to Thy Word-- Attentive to the trumpet’s sound, And looking for our Lord!

Verse 5

Oh, may we thus ensure A lot among the blest; And watch a moment, to secure An everlasting rest!

Verse 6

Amen,
