The day of Christ; the last, the dreadful day; When thou and I, and all the world, shall come Before His judgment-seat, to bear their doom For ever and for ever; and when they Who loved not God, far, far from Him away Shall go;—but whither banished? and with whom?— And they who loved Him shall be welcomed home To God, and Christ, and Heaven, and Heaven’s array, Angels and saints made perfect—may the scene Of that dread day be always present here— Here in my heart! That every day between, Which brings my passage to the goal more near, May find me fitter, by His love made clean, Before His throne of justice to appear.
