Christ in Song 120
That Dreadful Day
Words: Robert LowryMusic: Robert Lowry
1What a day of trial shall be, When the Lord shall try;
When that day of trial shall be, When the saints shall fly;
When that day of trial shall be, When the Lord shall come;
When that day of trial shall be, He shall judge each one.
RefrainWhat a day, what a day,
When the Lord shall come;
What a day, what a day,
He shall judge each one.
2What a day of trial shall be, When the Lord shall try;
When that day of trial shall be, We shall hear the cry;
When that day of trial shall be, When the Lord shall come;
When that day of trial shall be, He shall judge each one.
3What a day of trial shall be, When the Lord shall try;
When that day of trial shall be, When the saints shall fly;
When that day of trial shall be, When the Lord shall come;
When that day of trial shall be, He shall judge each one.
