Sinners, the day is near

Verse 1
Sinners, the day is near
Prepare your doom to meet,
Ye all must suddenly appear
Before the judgment seat;
Your everlasting state
Doth on the Man depend,
The God, whom ye by nature hate
And every hour offend.

Verse 2
The Father doth intrust
All judgment to his Son,
To whom your every deed unjust
And word and thought is known:
How will ye stand the test,
Or lift your guilty eyes,
When all the hell in every breast
Without a covering lies!
