[Day of wrath! that day of mourning!]
Day of wrath! that day of mourning!
Author: Thomas of Celano Meter: 8.8.8 Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath! O day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' 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 sepulchers 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, good Jesus! my salvation
Cost Thy wondrous incarnation,
Leave me not to reprobation!
10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me,
On the cross of suffering bought me:
Shall such grace in vain be brought me?
11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution
Grant Thy gift of absolution,
Ere that day of retribution.
12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning;
Spare, O God, thy suppliant groaning!
13 Thou the sinful woman savedst;
Thou the dying thief forgavest;
And to me a hope vouchsafest.
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 among 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,
Strews with ashes of contrition;
Help me in my last condition.
18 Ah, that day of tears and mourning!
From the dust of earth returning
Man for judgment must prepare him;
19 Spare, O God, in mercy spare him!
Lord, all pitying, Jesus blest,
Grant them Thine eternal rest! Topics: The Last Things Christ's Second Coming; The Last Things Christ's Second Coming; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ Used With Tune: [Day of wrath! that day of mourning!]

Thomas of Celano
1200 - 1265 Author of "Day of wrath! that day of mourning!" in The Lutheran Hymnary Thomas of Celano was born at Celano in the Abruzzi, and joined St. Francis of Assisi c. 1214. He was commissioned by Gregory IX to write the life of St. Francis: the First Legend, 1229; the Second Legend, 1247; and the Tract on the Miracle of St. Francis a few years later. His Legend of St. Clare was composed in 1255. He was probably among the first band of friars to visit Germany, 1221.
--The Hymnal 1940 Companion
===============================
Thomas of Celano. It is somewhat remarkable that neither the date of the birth nor of the death of this writer, whose name is so intimately associated with the Dies Irae, is on record. He was a native of Celano, a small town near the lake Fucino, in the farther Abruzzo, and hence his name of Thomas of Celano. Several of the inhabitants of this town were driven therefrom by Frederick II. in 1223, and Thomas with the rest. He found his way to Assisi, and became a monk there during the lifetime of St. Francis. The Franciscan Order was established in 1208, Thomas was therefore one of the early students at Assisi. He was subsequently "custos of the convents of Worms, Mentz, and Cologne, and afterwards sole custos of the Rhine districts." The last named appointment he held till 1230, when he returned to Assisi. As intimated above the date of his death is not on record. It is sometimes given as 1255. Thomas also wrote a Life of St. Francis.
