Text: | Escape the Judgment Day |
Author: | D. S. Warner |
Tune: | [We tread upon the awful verge] |
Composer: | D. O. Teasley |
1 We tread upon the awful verge
Of judgment’s great and dreadful day;
Its flames shall all the world submerge,
And sweep the sinner’s hope away.
Refrain:
Oh, the Lord is surely coming!
Sinners lost shall melt away;
Oh, repent this very moment,
And escape the judgment day.
2 In all the earth, and in the sky,
The hand of God his tokens writes;
The coming of the Lord is nigh,
O sinner, wake while love invites. [Refrain]
3 If God commanded men of yore,
Behold, he cometh; watch and pray,
To us he speaketh much the more,
AS we approach the solemn day. [Refrain]
4 The day of vengeance has begun,
A sword devours thro’ all the land;
The tempest, hail and fire run,
The final judgment is at hand. [Refrain]
5 We hear the rumbling of a crash,
The crisis of eternity;
The instant of that light’ning flash
Will fix fore’er thy destiny. [Refrain]
