THE day is fast approaching
When Jesus will appear,
A day of deepest sorrow,
A day of dread and fear.
When He, in brightest glory,
From heaven will come down,
By heavenly hosts attended,
To sit on David's throne.
His enemies will tremble,
Before Him bow the knee;
'Tis He, the Lord of glory
Whom every eye will see.
But e'er He comes in glory,
He'll call His own away,
To share His joys forever,
In heaven's unclouded day.
He'll give that shout, so welcome
To all who've known His love,
And in one brief, short moment,
They'll meet in clouds above.
The door which now stands open,
Will then be shut for aye,
Then comes, as Scripture tells us,
That fearful judgment day.
O, sinner, pause and listen,
To you the warning's given;
Where will you spend eternity,
In hell, or up in heaven?
In one of these 'tis certain,
You must forever dwell,
If you are not in heaven
You'll surely be in hell.
