Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders!
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A dramatic eschatological hymn by John Newton, first published in Olney Hymns (1779), depicting the trumpet call of the Last Day, Christ's glorious appearing, and the resurrection of the dead — contrasting the terror of the unrepentant sinner with the joy of the believer who can say 'This God is mine.'
Verse 1
Day of judgement, day of wonders!
Hark the trumpet's awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round!
How the summons
Will the sinner's heart confound!
Verse 2
See the Lord in the glory nearing,
Clothed in majesty divine,
You who long for His appearing,
Then shall say, "This God is mine!"
Gracious Savior, Gracious Savior,
Own me in that day as Thine.
Verse 3
At His call the dead awaken,
Rise to life form earth and sea!
All the powers of nature shaken
By His looks prepare to flee.
Careless sinner, Careless sinner,
What will then become of thee?
Verse 4
But to those who have confessed
Loved and served the Lord below,
He will say, "Come near, ye blessed,
See the kingdom I bestow;
You forever, You forever
Shall my love and glory know."
