THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
The day of Christ; the last, the dreadful day;When thou, and I, and all the world shall come
Before his judgment-seat, to hear their doom
For ever and for ever: and when they,
Who lov'd not God, far, far from him away
Shall go:—but whither banish'd?—and with whom?—
And they, who lov'd him, shall be welcom'd home
To God, and Christ, and heav'n, and heav'n's array,
Angels and saints made perfect.—May the scene
Of that dread day be always present here,
Here in my heart! that every day between,
Which brings my passage to the goal more near,
May find me fitter, by his love made clean,
Before his throne of justice to appear!
