And Gabriel’s going to ask him: Lord,

How loud must I blow it?

And God’s a-going to tell him: Gabriel,

Blow it calm and easy.

Then putting one foot on the mountain top,

And the other in the middle of the sea,

Gabriel’s going to stand and blow his horn,

And wake the living nations.

Oh-o-oh, sinner,

Where will you stand,

In that great day when God’s a-going to rain down fire?

Oh, you gambling man—where will you stand?

You whore-mongering man—where will you stand?

Liars and backsliders—where will you stand,

In that great day when God’s a-going to rain down fire?

And God will divide the sheep from the goats,

The one on the right, the other on the left.

And to them on the right God’s a-going to say:

Enter into my kingdom.

And those who’ve come through great tribulations,

And washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb,

They will enter in—

Clothed in spotless white,

And to them on the left God’s a-going to say:

Depart from me into everlasting darkness,

Down into the bottomless pit.

And the wicked like lumps of lead will start to fall,

Headlong for seven days and nights they’ll fall,

Plumb into the big, black, red-hot mouth of hell,

Too late, sinner! Too late!

Good-bye, sinner! Good-bye!

In hell, sinner! In hell!

Beyond the reach of the love of God.

And I hear a voice, crying, crying:

Time shall be no more!

Time shall be no more!

Time shall be no more!

And the sun will go out like a candle in the wind,

The moon will turn to dripping blood,

The stars will fall like cinders,

And the sea will burn like tar;

And the earth shall melt away and be dissolved,

And the sky will roll up like a scroll.

With the wave of his hand God will blot out time,

And start the wheel of eternity.

Sinner, oh. sinner,

Where will you stand

In that great day when God’s a-going to rain down fire?

—James Weldon Johnson, God’s Trombones
