Lyrics: 1 When judgment day is drawing nigh,
Where shall I be?
When God the works of men shall try,
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?

O where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
O where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
O where shall I be when it sounds?
2 When wicked men 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 the works of men decay,
Where shall I be? [Refrain]
3 When heaven 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? [Refrain]
4 All trouble done, all conflict past,
Where shall I be?
And old Apolyon bound at last,
Where shall I be?
When Christ shall reign from shore to shore,
Where shall I be?
And peace abide forevermore,
Where shall I be? [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 Languages: English Tune Title: WHERE SHALL I BE
When Judgment Day Is Drawing Nigh (Where Shall I Be)
Great God, what do I see and hear!
Author: William Bengo Collyer Hymnal: Church Book #565 (1890) Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated.
The trumpet sounds: the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.
2 The dead in Christ shall first arise,
At the last trumpet's sounding,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding;
No gloomy fears their souls dismay;
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold His wrath prevailing,
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing;
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet Him.
4 O Christ, who diedst and yet dost live,
To me impart Thy merit;
My pardon seal, my sins forgive,
And cleanse me by Thy Spirit.
Beneath Thy Cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: WENN ICH IN TODESNÖTHEN BIN
Great God, what do I see and hear!
That Day of wrath, that dreadful Day
Author: Sir Walter Scott Hymnal: Church Book #566 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CROSS
That Day of wrath, that dreadful Day
The angel comes, he comes to reap
Author: Henry Hart Milman Hymnal: Church Book #567 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment Lyrics: 1 The angel comes, he comes to reap
The harvest of the Lord!
O'er all the earth, with fatal sweep,
Wide waves his flaming sword.
2 And who are they, in sheaves to bide
The fire of vengeance bound?
The tares, whose rank luxuriant pride
Choked the fair crop around.
3 And who are they, reserved in store
God's treasure-house to fill?
The wheat, a hundred fold that bore
Amid surrounding ill.
4 O King of mercy! grant us power
Thy fiery wrath to flee!
In Thy destroying angel's hour,
O gather us to Thee!

O God! I shudder to foresee
The awful things which then shall be!

With legions, and with trumpet sound;
O Saviour, grant me in the air
With all Thy saints to meet Thee there!
3 Weep, O my soul, ere that great Day,
When God shall shine in plain array;
O weep thy sin, that thou mayst be
In that severest judgment free!
4 O Christ, forgive, remit, protect,
And set Thy servant with the elect;
That I may hear the voice that calls
The righteous to Thy heavenly halls!
5 Sit not in judgment on each deed,
Nor each intent in strictness read;

That fearful Day, that Day of dread
Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!
Author: Thomas de Celano; William Joseph Irons Hymnal: Church Book #569 (1890) Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophet's warning,
Heaven and earth in ashes burning!
2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth?
3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth,
Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth.
4 Death is struck, and nature quaking;
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
5 Lo, the Book, exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
6 When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth.
7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding,
When the just are mercy needing?
8 King of Majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us!
9 Think, kind Jesus! my salvation
Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation;
Leave me not to reprobation!
10 Faint and weary thou hast sought me,
On the Cross of suff'ring bought me;
Shall such grace in vain be brought me?
11 Righteous Judge of retribution,
Grant Thy gift of absolution,
Ere that day's dread execution.
12 Guilty, now I our my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning!
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant, groaning!
13 Thou the woman gavest remission,
Heard'st the dying thief's petition:
Hopeless else were my condition.
14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying!
15 With Thy favored sheep, O place me!
Nor amid the goats abase me:
But to Thy right hand upraise me.
16 While the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me, with Thy saints surrounded.
17 Bows my heart in meek submission,
Strewn with ashes of contrition;
Succor Thou my lost condition!
18 Day of sorrows, Day of weeping,
When, in dust no longer sleeping,
Man awakes in Thy dread keeping!
19 To the Rest Thou didst prepare me,
On Thy Cross, O Christ, upbear me?
Spare, O God, in mercy spare me!

When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come
Author: Selina, Countess of Huntingdon Hymnal: Church Book #570 (1890) Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment Lyrics: 1 When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come
To fetch Thy ransomed people home,
Shall I among them stand?
Shall such a worthless worm as I,
So sinful and unfit to die,
Be found at Thy right hand?
2 Blest Saviour, grant it by They grace;
Be Thou my soul's sure Hiding-place,
In this my gracious day:
Thy pardoning voice O let me hear,
To still my unbelieving fear,
Nor let me fall away!
3 Among Thy saints let me be found,
Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound,
To see Thy smiling face;
Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing,
While heaven's resounding mansions ring
The riches of Thy grace. Languages: English Tune Title: ACH! WAS SOLL ICH SÜNDER MACHEN
When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come
When rising from the bed of death
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: Church Book #571 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment Lyrics: 1 When rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear,
I see my Maker face to face,
O how shall I appear?
2 If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought:
3 When Thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgment on my soul,
O how shall I appear?
4 But Thou hast told the troubled mind,
Who does her sins lament,
Of Him who suffered unto death,
Her sufferings to prevent.
5 Then never shall my soul despair
Her pardon to procure,
Who knows Thine only Son has died
to make her pardon sure. Languages: English Tune Title: WINDSOR

Thou Judge of quick and dead
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #572 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment Lyrics: 1 Thou Judge of quick and dead,

For that tremendous day,
And fill us now with watchful care,

2 To pray, and wait the hour,
That wondrous hour unknown,
When, robed in majesty and power,
Thou shalt from heaven come down,
The immortal Son of Man,
To judge the human race,
With all Thy Father’s dazzling train,
With all Thy glorious grace.
3 O may we all be found
Obedient to Thy word,
Attentive to the trumpet’s sound,
And looking for our Lord!
O may we thus ensure
A lot among the blest;
And watch a moment to secure
An everlasting rest. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AUGUSTINE
