The judg­ment day is com­ing, com­ing, com­ing,
The judg­ment day is com­ing, O that great day!
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And fly away to Je­sus,
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And sound the ju­bi­lee.

I heard the trum­pet sound­ing, sound­ing, sound­ing,
I heard the trumpet sound­ing, on that great day.
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And fly away to Je­sus,
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And sound the ju­bilee.

I saw the Judge des­cend­ing, de­scend­ing, de­scend­ing,
I saw the Judge des­cend­ing, on that great day.
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And fly away to Je­sus,
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And sound the ju­bilee.

I see the dead aris­ing, aris­ing, aris­ing,
I see the dead aris­ing, on that great day.
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And fly away to Je­sus,
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And sound the ju­bilee.

I see the world as­sembled, as­sembled, as­sembled,
I see the world as­sem­bled, on that great day.
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And fly away to Je­sus,
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And sound the ju­bi­lee.

I hear the sen­tence ut­tered, ut­tered, ut­tered,
I heard the sentence ut­tered, on that great day
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And fly away to Je­sus,
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
And sound the ju­bi­lee.

I hear the wicked wail­ing, wail­ing, wail­ing,
I hear the wicked wail­ing, on that great day.
For they took not the wings of the morn­ing,
Nor flew away to Je­sus;
For they took not the wings of the morn­ing,
Nor sang the ju­bi­lee.

I heard the right­eous shout­ing, shout­ing, shout­ing,
I heard the right­eous shout­ing, on that great day.
For they took the wings of the morn­ing,
And flew away to Je­sus;
For they took the wings of the morn­ing,
And sang the ju­bi­lee.
