1. Behold! with awful pomp
The Judge prepares to come;
The archangel sounds the dreadful trump,
And wakes the general doom.

2. Nature, in wild amaze,
Her dissolution mourns:
Blushes of blood the moon deface;
The sun to darkness turns.

 

3. The living look with dread:
The frighted dead arise;
Start from the monumental bed,
And lift their ghastly eyes.

4. Horrors all hearts appall;
They quake, they shriek, they cry;
Bid rocks and mountains on them fall;
But rocks and mountains fly.

 

5. Ye willful, wanton fools,
Let danger make you wise:
Carnal professors, careless souls,
Unclose your lazy eyes.

6. Tis time we all awake;
The dreadful day draws near;
Sinners, your proud presumption check,
And stop your wild career.

 

7. Now is the accepted time;
To Christ for mercy fly:
O, turn, repent, and trust in him,
And you shall never die.

8. Great God, in whom we live,
Prepare us for that day:
Help us in Jesus to believe,
To watch, and wait, and pray.
