[They] said to the mountains and rocks,
Revelation 6:16Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
Words: R. Kelso Carter, 1886. Appeared in The Revival Wave, by G. W. Wilson & B. H. Kennedy (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: John J. Hood, 1887), number 110.
O, the rocks and the mountains shall all flee away,
When Jesus comes to judgment the last great day;
And no refuge can shelter, no covert can hide
The soul that hath rejected the Crucified.
Refrain
Sinner, sinner, plunge in the crimson flood!
There’s pardon, peace, and cleansing beneath the blood.
Sinner, sinner, plunge in the crimson flood!
There’s pardon, peace, and cleansing beneath the blood.
In the world there’s no pleasure can ever endure,
The moments are so fleeting, there’s nothing sure;
For we fade as a leaf, and our time’s but a breath,
The Lord hath said the wages of sin is death.
Refrain
In the blood there is cleansing without and within,
And Jesus breaks the power of canceled sin;
He keeps us and saves us to the uttermost,
Baptizes us with fire and the Holy Ghost.
