[F]
I dreamed that the great judgment [Bb] morning had [F] dawned and the trumpet [C] had blown.
[F] I dreamed that all nations [Bb] had gathered to [F] judgment [G] [C] before the [F] white throne.
From the throne came a bright [Bb] shining angel and [F] stood on the land [C] and the sea
and [F] swore with his hand, race [Bb] toward heaven,
[Dm] [F] that time [C] was no longer [F] to be.
[Dm] And [C] [F] all while [Dm] weeping [Bb] and waiting as [F] the world were told [C] of their fate,
they [F] cried for the rocks and [Bb] the mountains.
[F] They prayed, [C] but their prayers were [F] too late.
[Bm]
[G] Oh, [C]
[A] [G] [C] the rich man was there, but [F] his money had [C] melted and vanished [G] away.
A [C] pauper he stood in [F] the judgment, [C] his debts were [G] too heavy [C] to pay.
Now the great man was there, [F] but his greatness, when [C] death came, was left [G] far behind.
The [C] angel then opened [F] all the records, [C] not a trace [G] of his greatness [C] could find.
The [G] widow was there [C] with the orphan.
[G] God heard and remembered [D] their cries.
[G] No sorrow in heaven [C] forever.
Oh, [G] God wiped [D] all the tears from [G] their eyes.
The gambler was there [C] and the drunkard [G] and the man that had sold them [D] the dream.
With [G] the people who gave them [C] the license, all [G] together [D] in hell they [G] did [F] sing.
[E]
The [A] moral man came to [D] the judgment, but [A] his self-righteous rites would [E] not do.
[A] The man who had crucified [D] Jesus had [A] passed off [E] as moral [A] man too.
The soul that had put all [D] salvation,
Oh, [A] not tonight.
I'll get saved by [E] and by.
[A] No time now to think of [D] religion.
At [A] last [E] they had found [A] time to die.
And oh, what a weeping [D] and wailing.
As [A] the lost, they were told [E] of their fate.
[A] They cried for the rocks and [D] the mountains.
Oh, [A] they prayed, but [E] their prayers were [A] too late.
They [Gbm] prayed, but [E] their prayers were too late.
