L. M.
The great day of his wrath.
Rev. 6:17.
That day of wrath! that dreadful day,
When heaven and earth shall pass away!
What power shall be the sinner’s stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?
2 When shriveling like a parchéd scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll;
When, louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead;
3 O, on that day, that dreadful day,
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be thou, O God, the sinner’s stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
Sir W. Scott.
