(Hymn: 3/4 measure) [Verse 1]
D                                 G
I dreamed that the great judgment mornin'

    D                        A
Had dawn and the trumpet had blown

  D                             G
I dreamed that the nations, had gathered

   D          A              D
To judgment before the white throne
[Verse 2]
                                      G
From the throne came a bright shining angel

    D                         A
And stood on the land and the sea

    D                             G
And swore with her hand raised to heaven

     D           A         D
That time was no longer to be
[Chorus]
                         G
And oh, what weeping and wailing

       D                       A7
As the lost were told of their fate

     D                           G
They cried for the rocks and the mountains

     D                 A7               D
They prayed, but their prayers were too late
[Verse 3]
                 A      D       G
The rich man was there, but his money

    D                    A     A7
Had melted and vanished away

  D                         G
A pauper stood there in the judgment

    D              A7      D
His debts were too many to pay
[Verse 4]
                                 G
The great man was there, but his greatness

     D                          A      A7
When death came, was left far behind

    D                     G
The angel that opened the records

   D            A7              D
No trace of his greatness could find
[Verse 5]
                                G
The widower stood there and the orphan

    D                          A       A7
God heard and remembered their cries

   D                   G
No sorrow in heaven forever

    D             A                D
God wiped all the tears from their eyes
[Verse 6]
                              G
The gambler was there and the drunkard

    D                          A
And they who had sold them the drink

     D                        G
With people who gave them the license

  D         A7            D
Together in hell they did sink
[Chorus]
                          G
And oho, what weeping and wailing

       D                       A
As the lost were told of their fate

     D                           G
They cried for the rocks and the mountains

     D                 A                D
They prayed, but their prayers were too late
[Verse 7]
                          G
The mortal man to the judgment

    D                            A7
But self righteousness would not do

        D                     G
For the men who had crucified Jesus

    D             A7         D
Had passed off as mortal men too
[Verse 8]
                                  G
And the souls that had put off salvation

      D                            A    A7
Not tonight, I'll get saved by and by

   D                      G
No time now to think of religion

       D           A7            D
But at last they'd found time to die
[Outro]
                          G
And oho, what weeping and wailing

       D                       A
As the lost were told of their fate

     D                           G
They cried for the rocks and the mountains

          D                 A                D
Then they prayed, but their prayers were too late
