The Last Judgment

Verse 1

See where the great incarnate God Fills a majestic throne; While from the skies his awful voice Bears the last judgment down.

Verse 2

I am the first, and I the last, Through endless years the same; I AM is my memorial still, And my eternal name.

Verse 3

Such favors as a God can give My royal grace bestows: Ye thirsty souls, come taste the streams, Where life and pleasure flows.

Verse 4

The saint that triumphs o'er his sins, I'll own him for a son; The whole creation shall reward The conquests he has won.

Verse 5

But bloody hands, and hearts unclean, And all the lying race, The faithless and the scoffing crew, That spurn at offered grace;

Verse 6

They shall be taken from my sight, Bound fast in iron chains, And headlong plunged into the lake Where fire and darkness reigns.

Verse 7

O may I stand before the Lamb, When earth and seas are fled! And hear the Judge pronounce my name, With blessings on my head!

Verse 8

May I with those for ever dwell Who here were my delight! While sinners, banished down to hell, No more offend my sight.
