[Eternal Judge of quick and dead]
Then He shall reward every man according, &c.
—xvi. 27.
Eternal Judge of quick and dead,
On me the salutary dread
Of Thy great day bestow,
That now I may obedient be,
Take up my cross, and follow Thee
And die to all below.
On me the salutary dread
Of Thy great day bestow,
That now I may obedient be,
Take up my cross, and follow Thee
And die to all below.
These are the works Thou dost require;
Who to that heavenly bliss aspire
Must live in these employ'd:
For only such the prize shall gain,
Meet the descending Son of Man,
And see the face of God.
