There’s a great judg­ment day
That is com­ing, we know,
It’s com­ing to one and all;
For the Judge shall des­cend
In His pow­er di­vine,
And judge both the great and small.

Refrain

When Je­sus comes
And the judg­ment is set,
O! who will be on His right hand?
When the trum­pet shall sound,
And the na­tions have come,
O! who shall be able to stand?

Then the right­eous and wick­ed
Together shall meet,
To judg­ment they shall be brought;
And the Judge shall pro­claim
To the right­eous, Well done.
The wick­ed, I know you not.

Refrain

There will be great re­joic­ing
Of hap­py ones there,
Who fol­lowed the Sav­ior here;
When they hear Him de­clare,
Come, ye bless­èd of Mine,
And en­ter My home so fair.

Refrain

But there’ll be la­men­ta­tion
And mourn­ing that day,
When Je­sus shall say, De­part;
And the wick­ed shall flee
From His pre­sence away,
What rend­ing of ev­ery heart!

Refrain

O! pre­pare us, dear Lord,
For Thy coming ere long,
The judg­ment of that great day;
When the saints shall re­joice
In Thy pre­sence with song,
The wick­ed be driv’n away.
