The Great Judgment Day (Crosby)

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1882
Composer: John Sweney

You are un­der con­dem­na­tion

Careless sin­ner

And the judg­ment day is sure­ly draw­ing near;

If you tram­ple un­der foot re­deem­ing mer­cy

What a sen­tence then your guil­ty soul will hear.

Depart from My pre­sence

The Judge will pro­claim

Depart from My pre­sence

Into ev­er­last­ing flame!

Oh

es­cape this aw­ful doom;

Cling to Je­sus while you may

And pre­pare to meet your Sav­ior

On the great judg­ment day.

There’s a judg­ment fast ap­proach­ing

Careless sin­ner

And re­mem­ber there’s a death that nev­er dies;

Oh

the wail­ing of the lost who feel its ang­uish;

To its hor­ror will you dare to close your eyes?

There’s a judg­ment fast ap­proach­ing

Careless sin­ner

If you sin away the pre­cious time of grace;

You will call up­on the rocks to fall up­on you

And to hide you from a slight­ed Sav­ior’s face.

There’s a world where all the right­eous

Shall be ga­thered

And ano­th­er of re­morse and end­less pain;

If you die with­out the cleans­ing blood of Je­sus

Then for­ev­er with the lost you must re­main.
