1 I've a long time heard that there will be a judgment,
That there will be a judgment in that day.
O there will be a judgment in that day,
O sinner, where will you stand in that day?
O there will be a judgment in that day,
O sinner, where will you stand in that day?
2 I've a long time heard that the sun will be darkened,
That the sun will be darkened in that day.
O the sun will be darkened in that day.
O sinner, where will you stand in that day?
O the sun will be darkened in that day.
O sinner, where will you stand in that day?
3 I've a long time heard that the earth will be burning,
That the earth will be burning in that day.
O the earth will be burning in that day,
O sinner, where will you stand in that day?
O the earth will be burning in that day,
O sinner, where will you stand in that day?
