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

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

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

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

4. All trouble done, all conflict past,
Where shall I be?
And old Apollyon bound at last,
Where shall I be?
When Christ shall reign from shore to shore,
Where shall I be?
And peace abide forever more,
Where shall I be? [Refrain]
