[Sinners, attend the dreadful word]
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands, &c.
—14, 15.
Sinners, attend the dreadful word,
(“The Judge of all, the righteous Lord,
Doth with His holy myriads come,”)
And tremble at your instant doom!
(“The Judge of all, the righteous Lord,
Doth with His holy myriads come,”)
And tremble at your instant doom!
217
Ye just, the faithful God and true
Comes, to be glorified in you,
Rejoice to see the Judge descend,
And boldly meet your heavenly Friend!
Comes, to be glorified in you,
Rejoice to see the Judge descend,
And boldly meet your heavenly Friend!

[To Zion's sacred top]
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on, &c.
—20, 21.
To
Zion's sacred top
Unwearied let us press,
And build each other up
In faith and holiness,
And praying in the Spirit prove
The depth and height of purest love.
Unwearied let us press,
And build each other up
In faith and holiness,
And praying in the Spirit prove
The depth and height of purest love.
The grace with Christ bestow'd
Thus only we retain,
Nearer approach to God,
And all His image gain,
But hang on His mere mercy still,
Till wafted to the heavenly hill.
Thus only we retain,
Nearer approach to God,
And all His image gain,
But hang on His mere mercy still,
Till wafted to the heavenly hill.

[We look for mercy still]
Looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, &c.
—21.
We look for mercy still,
The mercy of our Lord,
To keep our helpless souls from ill,
When perfectly restored:
On His preserving grace
The purest saints depend;
And never shall we want it less,
Till grace in glory end.
3438.
[Lord, I believe, Thy mercy's power]
Unto Him that is able to keep you from falling.
—24.
Lord, I believe, Thy mercy's power,
Which hath my refuge been,
Will still in every future hour
Preserve my soul from sin:
218
Shall my protection prove;
And into sin I cannot fall,
While hanging on Thy love.
