The earth shall melt with fer­vent heat,
The hea­vens pass away,
And all man­kind their doom shall meet,
In that last great day.

Refrain

Oh, that last great day, is com­ing ve­ry soon,
’Tis the judg­ment day, and the lost shall weep;
’Tis the crown­ing day, and the saints shall greet
In that last great day.

The trump will sound, the Lord re­turn,
And time no long­er stay,
The world in judg­ment flames con­sume,
In that last great day.

Refrain

The ele­ments that now com­pose
The ball on which we stay,
To smoke and va­por must dis­solve,
In that last great day.

Refrain

So, all who make this world their god,
Can here no long­er stay;
Their fond­est hopes will all have fled,
In that last great day.

Refrain

The quick and dead, o’er land and sea,
Will leave their mor­tal clay;
And put on im­mor­ta­li­ty,
In that last great day.

Refrain

The Church of God no more shall need,
This poor ter­res­tri­al home;
For she shall dwell with Christ, her head,
At the last great day.
