Great Judgement Morning |
I dreamed that the great judgment morning |
Had dawned, and the trumpet had blown; |
I dreamed that the nations had gathered |
To judgment before the white throne; |
From the throne came a bright, shining angel |
And he stood on the land and the sea |
And he swore with his hand raised to Heaven |
That time was no longer to be |
And, oh, what a weeping and wailing |
As the lost were told of their fate; |
They cried for the rocks and the mountains |
They prayed, but their prayer was too late |
The rich man was there, but his money |
Had melted and vanished away; |
A pauper he stood in the judgment |
His debts were too heavy to pay; |
The great man was there, but his greatness |
When death came, was left far behind! |
The angel that opened the records |
Not a trace of his greatness could find |
The widow was there with the orphans |
God heard and remembered their cries; |
No sorrow in heaven forever |
God wiped all the tears from their eyes; |
The gambler was there and the drunkard |
And the man that had sold them the drink |
With the people who gave him the license |
Together in hell they did sink |
The moral man came to the judgment |
But self-righteous rags would not do; |
The men who had crucified Jesus |
Had passed off as moral men, too; |
The soul that had put off salvation |
Not tonight; |
I ll get saved by and by |
No time now to think of religion! |
At last they had found time to die |
