14787. The Judgment

1 The judgment day is coming on,
God’s Word declares it true;
Upon the great white throne will be
The One oft spurned by you.

Refrain:
Judgment! all your sins confronting,
Judgment! with no help or guide.
Judgment! all your record facing;
Judgment! with no place to hide.

2 The broken laws, the sins forgot,
Will meet you on that day,
And from the record written there
You cannot turn away. [Refrain]

3 God’s mercy will be ended then,
The day of grace be done;
The time you might have chosen life
Will be forever gone. [Refrain]

4 But, hark! the door stands open wide,
God’s Spirit still is nigh;
In gentle tones the Savior pleads,
Oh, turn! why will ye die? [Refrain]
