Text: | And Will The Judge Descend |
Author: | Philip Doddridge |
Tune: | BARNBY |
Composer: | Joseph Barnby |
1 And will the Judge descend,
And must the dead arise,
And not a single soul escape
His all-discerning eyes?
2 And from his righteous lips
Shall this dread sentence sound,
And through the num'rous guilty throng
Spread black despair around?--
3Depart from me, accursed,
To everlasting flame,
For rebel angels first prepared,
Where mercy never came.
4 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heav'n before His face
Astonished shrink away?
5 But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark, from the Gospel's cheering sound,
What joyful tidings spread!
6 Ye sinners, seek His grace,
Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Fly to the shelter of His cross,
And find salvation there.
Amen.
