1.

DAY of wrath! of days That Day!
Earth in flames ſhall melt away,
Pſalmiſt thus and Sibyl ſay.

2.

What ſwift terrors then ſhall fall,
When deſcends the Judge of all,
Every action to recall!

3.

When the trump, with wondrous tone
Through the graves of nations gone,
Bids the race confront the Throne.
