Author: Sir Walter Scott Hymnal: Church Book #566 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 That Day of wrath, that dreadful Day,
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful Day?
2 When, shrivelling like a parchéd scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll;
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead:
3 Lord! on that Day, that wrathful Day,
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be Thou the trembling sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away. Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment; Advent, Second Sunday; Twenty Sixth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CROSS
