1 When Christ to judgment shall descend,
And saints surround their Lord,
He calls the nations to attend,
And hear his awful word.
2 'Not for the want of bullock's slain
'Will I the world reprove;
'Altars, and rites, and forms are vain,
'Without the fire of love.
3 'And what have hypocrites to do
'To bring their sacrifice?
'They call my statutes just and true,
'But deal in theft and lies.
4 'Could you expect to 'scape my sight,
'And sin without controul?
'But I shall bring your crimes to light,
'With anguish in your soul.'
5 Consider ye, that slight the Lord,
Before his wrath appear;
If once you fall beneath his sword,
There's no deliv'rer there.
