Where Shall I Be?

Verse 1

When judgment day is drawing nigh, Where shall I be? When God the works of mortals tries, Where shall I be? When east and west the fire shall roll, Where shall I be? How will it be with my poor soul. Where shall I be?

Chorus

Oh, where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds? Oh, where shall I be when it sounds so loud, When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead? Oh, where shall I be when it sounds?

Verse 2

When wicked souls his wrath shall see, Where shall I be? And to the rocks and mountains flee, Where shall I be? When hills and mountains flee away, Where shall I be? When all our human works decay, Where shall I be?

Verse 3

When Heav'n and Earth, as some great scroll, Where shall I be? Shall from God's angry presence roll, Where shall I be? When all the saints redeemed shall stand, Where shall I be? Forever blest at God's right hand, Where shall I be?

Verse 4

All trouble done, all conflict past, Where shall I be? And old Apollyon bound at last, Where shall I be? When Christ shall reign from shore to shore, Where shall I be? And peace abide forever more, Where shall I be?
