Lyrics:

What an awful day (repeat)
When the judgement comes, (repeat)
And the sinners hear (repeat)
Their eternal doom, (repeat)
At the sad decree (repeat)
They'll depart for aye, (repeat)
Into endless woe (repeat)
And gloomless woe and gloom.


I'm paying now
I'm paying now
The penalty
The penalty
The unredeemed (that the unredeemed)
Must ever pay
Must ever pay
Though for help I cry
Though for help I cry
It's now in vain
It's now in vain
For alas I'm doomed
For alas I'm doomed
For aye (I'm doomed for aye)

If I could recall (repeat)
All the years now gone (repeat)
For my Savior's cause, (repeat)
I would spend each one; (repeat)
But they ne'er again (repeat)
Can to me return, (repeat)
And the task is left, (and my task is left)
Undone (it's left undone).


I'm paying now
I'm paying now
The penalty
The penalty
The unredeemed (that the unredeemed)
Must ever pay
Must ever pay
Though for help I cry
Though for help I cry
It's now in vain
It's now in vain
For alas I'm doomed
For alas I'm doomed
For aye (I'm doomed for aye)

Oh I realize
Oh I realize
But alas too late
But alas too late
What a dark mistake
What a dark mistake
All my life has been
All my life has been
I refused his live
I refused his live
With a various heart
With a various heart
And I must pay the price
And I must pay the price
Of sin (the price of sin)


I'm paying now
I'm paying now
The penalty
The penalty
The unredeemed (that the unredeemed)
Must ever pay
Must ever pay
Though for help I cry
Though for help I cry
It's now in vain
It's now in vain
For alas I'm doomed
For alas I'm doomed
For aye (I'm doomed for aye)
