[The heavenly Man The God we adore]
Whose fan is in His hand, and He will, &c.
—iii. 17.
The heavenly Man The God we adore
Is come with His fan To winnow His floor;
The first separation He makes by His word;
The heirs of salvation Acknowledge their Lord.
Is come with His fan To winnow His floor;
The first separation He makes by His word;
The heirs of salvation Acknowledge their Lord.
His church is the floor, His saints are the wheat;
Till sinless and pure For paradise meet,
He purges and sifts them, He chastens and tries,
And finally lifts them To thrones in the skies.
Till sinless and pure For paradise meet,
He purges and sifts them, He chastens and tries,
And finally lifts them To thrones in the skies.
Then, then His full ire On sinners is come,
Unquenchable fire The chaff shall consume,
Jehovah shall sever, And send them to dwell
For ever and ever Tormented in hell.
Unquenchable fire The chaff shall consume,
Jehovah shall sever, And send them to dwell
For ever and ever Tormented in hell.
