[D] I dreamed that the great judgment [G] morning had [D]
dawned and the trumpet [A] had blown.
[Bm] [A] I [D] dreamed that the nations [G] had gathered to [D] judgment
[A] before the [D] white throne.
From the throne came a bright [G] shining angel [D] and stood on the land and [A] the sea
and [D] swore with her hands raised [G] to heaven that [D] time was no [A] longer to [D] be.
And oh what weeping [G] and wailing as [D] the lost were told of their [A] fate.
[D] They cried far the rocks and the [G] mountains, they [D] prayed but [A] their prayers were [D] too late.
The rich man was there but his [G] money had [D] melted and vanished [A] away.
[Em] [D] A pauper stood there in [G] the judgment, [D] his debts were [A] too many [D] to pay.
The [Bm] great man [D] was there but [G] his greatness when [D] death came was left far [A] behind.
[G] [D] The angel that opened [G] the record, [D] no trace of [A] his greatness [D] could find.
The widder stood there and [G] the orphan, God [D] heard and remembered their [A]
cry.
[D] No sorrow in heaven [G] forever, [D] God wiped [A] all the tears from [D] their eyes.
The gambler was there and [G] the drugger and [D]
they who had sold him the [A]
dream.
With [D]
people who gave them the [G]
license, [D] together [A] in hell they did [D] sleep.
And oh what weeping and [G]
wailing as [D] the lost were told of their [A] fate.
[D] They cried far the rocks and [Bm] the [G] mountains, they [D] prayed but their [A] prayers were [D] too late.
The mortal [Am] man to [G] the judgment but [D]
self-righteousness would [A] not do.
[D] For the men who had crucified [G] Jesus had [D] passed off [A] as mortal [D] men too.
And the souls that had put off [G] salvation, [D] not tonight, I'll get saved by [A] and by.
No [D] time now to think [G] of religion but [D] at last [A] they'd found time [D] to die.
And oh what weeping and [G] wailing as [D] the lost were told of their [A] fate.
They [D] cried far the rocks [G] and the mountains, then [D] they prayed but [A] their prayers were too [D] late.
