The Great Day
(As sung by Judge Falkerner of Al'a.)

John P. Rees. in Sacred Harp, 1859.

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?

I've a long time heard that the sun will be darken'd,
That the sun will be darken'd in that day.
O the sun will be darken'd in that day--
Oh! sinner, where will you stand in that day?

I've a long time heard that the moon will be bleeding,
That the moon will be bleeding in that day.
O the moon will be bleeding in that day,
Oh! sinner, where will you stand in that day?

I've a long time heard that the stars will be falling,
That the stars will be falling in that day.
O the stars will be falling in that day,
Oh! sinner, where will you stand in that day?

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,
Oh! sinner, where will you stand in that day?
