The Day of Doom

By Charles P. Holt

By Charles P. Holt
O, dreadful that day when it dawneth On the children of crime and of sin— When the Lord shall appear in His glory, Mid a whirl of destruction and din; When, swift as the flash of the lightning, All life shall be swept from the world By the terrible hand of Jehovah, As star against star shall be hurled;
When the mountains shall tremble, then topple, Then melt in the chaos like snow; And the oceans arise in a vapor That will hiss in the infinite glow; And the fires, incased and eternal, That beneath us for eons have roared, Shall burst with a fury infernal From their bonds at the touch of the Lord;
And the homes that we live in and cherish, In a trice shall be tombed in the past; And the forms that they welcome and shelter Shall as ashes be swept in the blast; And the earth, that in grandeur and glory In its orbit now circles the sun, Shall return to its molten beginning, By the might of the Infinite One.
