The judg­ment day is draw­ing near,
That great day of the Lord;
The sum­mons all man­kind shall hear,
That great day of the Lord.
All pomp and pride and vaunt­ed pow­er,
All em­pires, thrones of earth­ly dow­er,
Shall per­ish in that aw­ful hour,
That great day of the Lord.

Refrain

That great day is com­ing,
That dark day is com­ing,
That dread day is com­ing,
That great day of the Lord.

How shall we meet that dread­ful day,
That great day of the Lord?
When Heav’n and earth shall flee away,
That great day of the Lord;
What power can shield the guil­ty soul,
All scarred and stained by sin’s con­trol,
While thun­der­ings of God’s jus­tice roll?
That great day of the Lord.

Refrain

Christ is a re­fuge for your soul,
That great day of the Lord;
Seek now re­lease from sin’s con­trol,
That great day of the Lord;
O fly in­to His pierc­èd em­brace,
And be a sin­ner saved by grace;
With joy you’ll then be­hold His face,
That great day of the Lord.
