When heaven and earth shall pass away,
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day? A-men.
2 When, shrivelling like a parchèd 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!
Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Used With Tune: WINDHAM Text Sources: Founded on Dies Irae
