HYMNS.

Advent.

HYMN I.

DAY of wrath! that awful day,
Shall the banner'd Cross display,
Earth in ashes melt away.

When the trumpet's thrilling tone,
Through the tombs of ages gone,
Summons all before the throne.

Death and time shall stand aghast,

And creation-at the blast,

Rise to answer for the past.

Then the volume shall be spread,
And the writing shall be read,

Which shall judge the quick and dead.

B
