(G)I dreamed that the great judgment (C)morning
Had (G)dawned, and the trumpet had (D)blown;
I d(G)reamed that the nations had (C)gathered
To judgment (D)before the white (G)throne;
(G)From the throne came a bright, shining (C)angel,
And he (G)stood on the land and the (D)sea,
And he (G)swore with his hand raised to (C)Heaven,
That (G)time was no (D)longer to (G)be.
Chorus(G)And, oh, what a weeping and (C)wailing,
As the (G)lost were told of their (D)fate;
They (G)cried for the rocks and the (C)mountains,
They (G)prayed, but their (D)prayer was too (G)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.
