1

How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heaven, before the Judge,
Astonished, shrink away!

2

But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark! from the gospel's cheering sound,
What joyful tidings spread!

3

Ye sinners, seek his grace,
Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Fly to the shelter of the cross,
And find salvation there.

4

So shall that curse remove,
By which the Savior bled;
And the last awful day shall pour
His blessings on your head.
