Oh! say shall I be there,
To see the dreadful glare,
The dreadful sound to hear,
The dreadful heat to bear,
Of falling crags and rocks, of roaring seas,
Of smoking hills, and flaming earth and skies?
Oh! yes, I shall be there;
The graves shall open’d be;
_All_ shall the trumpet hear,
The Judge’s face shall see:
In vain shall some upon the mountains call,
To hide their heads from him who judges all.
The books shall then be read,
In which our God has wrote
All that we ever said,
Or ever did or thought;
And many cheeks with burning shame shall glow,
And many souls be plunged in deepest woe.
And how shall I escape
From endless misery?
My sins, a mighty heap,
Show I deserve to die.
And yet to think upon that burning lake
Makes my flesh tremble, and my bones to shake.
Lord! by the blood he shed
Who hung upon the tree,
Before the books are read,
May my sins pardon’d be!
And then my tears shall all be wiped away,
And I shall dwell in everlasting day.
THE END.
