LXI. Christ's coming to Judgment

1 When Christ shall rend from end to end
The regions of the air;
And split the skies in twain likewise,
Then he'll himself appear.

2 Then he'll appear a drawing near
In armies broad and long,
In rank and file ten thousand miles,
Methinks I see the throng.

3 Then he will tell the archangel
To blow the trumpet loud,
That all might hear both far and near,
And then you'll see the croud.

4 When he will call both great and small,
The beggar and the drudge;
The high, and low, the poor also,
To come before the judge.

5 The sheep shall stand at his right hand,
But goats on his left side:
Then he will call both great and small
To have their cases try'd.

6 Then he will say, "deaprt away,
"Ye goats go down to hell,
"And wander there in black despair,
"And bid all hope farewell."

7 but to the rest "come up ye blest,"
My sweet redeemer'll say,
"And dwell on high with God and I,
"And sing my praise for aye,"
