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 O, 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.
And O, 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 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.
And O, 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 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.
And O, 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.
