The lightnings are prevailing; The ungodly rise, but all their tears And sighs are unavailing : The day of grace is past and gone, mf 4 Great God, what do I see and hear? cr The Judge of all men doth appear, f p Low at His cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, cr And thus prepare to meet Him. Amen. 7. I Anon. based on B. RINGWALDT; vv. 2, 3 W. B. COLLYER, v. 2 altd. T. COTTERILL; |
