1 Day of judgment! Day of wonders! 
Hark! the trumpet's awesome sound, 
louder than a thousand thunders, 
shakes the vast creation round. 
How the summons 
will the sinner's heart confound! 
 
2 See the Judge, our nature wearing, 
clothed in majesty divine. 
You who long for his appearing 
then shall say, "This God is mine!" 
Gracious Savior, 
own me on that day as thine. 
 
3 At his call the dead awaken, 
rise to life from earth and sea. 
All the powers of nature, shaken 
by his looks, prepare to flee. 
Careless sinner, 
what will then become of thee? 
 
4 But to those who have confessed, 
loved, and served the Lord below, 
he will say, "Come near, you blessed, 
see the kingdom I bestow; 
you forever 
shall my love and glory know."
