1 When judgment day is drawing nigh,
When God the works of men shall try,
Where shall I be?
When east and west the fire shall roll,
How will it be with my poor soul:
Where shall I be?

Refrain:
O where shall I be
When the first trumpet sounds,
O where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud
As to wake up the dead?
O where shall I be when it sounds?

2 When wicked men His wrath shall see,
And to the rocks and mountains flee,
Where shall I be?
When hills and mountains flee away,
When all the works of man decay,
Where shall I be? [Refrain]

3 When Heav’n and earth as some great scroll,
Shall from God’s angry presence roll,
Where shall I be?
When all the saints redeemed shall stand,
Forever blest at God’s right hand,
Where shall I be? [Refrain]
