Heavy clouds are gathering fast

1

Heavy clouds are gathering fast,Tokens of destruction sure;Sinner, now before the blast,Seek a shelter to secure.

2

Thousand voices from afar,Warn thee of thy coming fate:Careless sinner, now beware!Haste thee, ere it be too late!

3

Crimes in every shape increase;Judgments stalk throughout the land;Signs are borne on every breeze,That destruction is at hand.

4

Darker clouds will soon arise,Louder still the thunders roar,Fiercer lightnings pierce the skies,—But the sinner's day is o'er.
