HYMN 59.
[Thou, Lord, art the high Judge]
The Second Part.
Thou, Lord, art the high Judge,
Most righteous art also;
And all the world must judged be,
And their rewards have too.
Most righteous art also;
And all the world must judged be,
And their rewards have too.
Impartially proceed
Wilt thou in that great day,
And every Man's Indictment read,
And hear what they can say.
Wilt thou in that great day,
And every Man's Indictment read,
And hear what they can say.
The honour of the Lord,
The mighty God above,
Thou seekst to raise, and now thou wilt
All doubts of Men remove.
The mighty God above,
Thou seekst to raise, and now thou wilt
All doubts of Men remove.
Now all the works of men,
And thoughts of every heart
Shall unto Judgment come, and then
Shall all have their deserts:
And thoughts of every heart
Shall unto Judgment come, and then
Shall all have their deserts:
147
The Books shall open be
Of Law and Gospel too,
And Conscience shall be call'd upon
To charge, or clear also.
Of Law and Gospel too,
And Conscience shall be call'd upon
To charge, or clear also.
All deeds of darkness shall
Be brought unto the light;
For nothing can be hid at all
From the great Judge's sight.
Be brought unto the light;
For nothing can be hid at all
From the great Judge's sight.
O think upon this day,
And for it now prepare;
For quickly Christ will come away,
Who will no Sinners spare.
And for it now prepare;
For quickly Christ will come away,
Who will no Sinners spare.
The Third Part.
How dreadful is a righteous Judge
To such who guilty be!
But none like thee, O holy One,
Cloathed in Majesty.
To such who guilty be!
But none like thee, O holy One,
Cloathed in Majesty.
Thy Countenance how will it shine
Much brighter than the Sun;
All wicked ones will weep and pine,
And see themselves undone:
Much brighter than the Sun;
All wicked ones will weep and pine,
And see themselves undone:
Conscience will in that dreadful day
The guilty Sinner fright,
And all his deeds before him lay
Done by him day or night.
The guilty Sinner fright,
And all his deeds before him lay
Done by him day or night.
148
None shall be suffer'd there to speak
Or answer for his Friend,
But every one must for himself
His own state recommend:
Or answer for his Friend,
But every one must for himself
His own state recommend:
The Witnesses shall be call'd in,
And many will appear,
And God himself he will be one,
Who all things knows most clear.
And many will appear,
And God himself he will be one,
Who all things knows most clear.
Conscience also shall called be
His witness in to give,
Who next to God all things does see,
And knows how Men do live.
His witness in to give,
Who next to God all things does see,
And knows how Men do live.
Angels likewise both good and bad
Their Evidence may bring,
Who quick inspection always had
Of Men in every thing.
Their Evidence may bring,
Who quick inspection always had
Of Men in every thing.
The Fourth Part.
No mercy then for guilty ones,
The Judge will be severe;
Christ will not mind the Sinners groans,
Who wicked have been here.
The Judge will be severe;
Christ will not mind the Sinners groans,
Who wicked have been here.
This is the only time of Grace,
'Tis now Men must repent,
When that day comes, there is no place,
Although they may relent.
'Tis now Men must repent,
When that day comes, there is no place,
Although they may relent.
149
The Wicked shall the Sentence hear,
Depart ye cursed all;
And being bound up hands and feet,
In flaming fire must fall:
Depart ye cursed all;
And being bound up hands and feet,
In flaming fire must fall:
And ever there too shall they lye,
The fire can not go out;
And their worm never more shall die,
Which will be fad no doubt.
The fire can not go out;
And their worm never more shall die,
Which will be fad no doubt.
O then poor Sinners lay to heart
Your folly, to Christ fly;
And leave thy sins, whoe're thou art,
For that day draweth nigh.
Your folly, to Christ fly;
And leave thy sins, whoe're thou art,
For that day draweth nigh.
The Fifth Part.
O Sing ye Saints, you have a Friend
Who for you will appear
If you are faithful to the end
Whilst you do now live here,
Who for you will appear
If you are faithful to the end
Whilst you do now live here,
Christ, when he comes, will clear you all,
And wipe all tears away;
And ye shall sing, and triumph shall
In glorious array:
And wipe all tears away;
And ye shall sing, and triumph shall
In glorious array:
Ye shall the happy Sentence hear,
O Come ye blessed Ones,
The blessed of my Father dear,
And take your glorious Crowns.
O Come ye blessed Ones,
The blessed of my Father dear,
And take your glorious Crowns.
150
This being so, ye Saints break forth
And say, O Come away,
O blessed Judge of Heaven and Earth!
O haste, and do not stay.
And say, O Come away,
O blessed Judge of Heaven and Earth!
O haste, and do not stay.
