Hymn 191

That day of wrath, that dreadful day,

Meter: L.M.

Scripture: Ps. 1:5

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!

2

When, shrivelling 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.

3

Oh, on that day, that wrathful day,

When man to judgement wakes from clay,

Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner’s stay,

Though heav’n and earth shall pass away.
