In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

When judgment day is drawing nigh,
When God the works of men shall try,
Where shall I be?
When east and west the fire shall roll,
How will it be with my poor soul:
Where shall I be?
Refrain
O where shall I be
When the first trumpet sounds,
O where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud
As to wake up the dead?
O where shall I be when it sounds?
When wicked men His wrath shall see,
And to the rocks and mountains flee,
Where shall I be?
When hills and mountains flee away,
When all the works of man decay,
Where shall I be?
Refrain
When Heav’n and earth as some great scroll,
Shall from God’s angry presence roll,
Where shall I be?
When all the saints redeemed shall stand,
Forever blest at God’s right hand,
Where shall I be?
Refrain
