The last Judgement

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #96 (1786) Topics: Profession false; Profession false First Line: The Lord, the sovereign sends his summons forth Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the sovereign sends his summons forth, Calls the south nations, and awakes the north; From East to West the sounding orders spread Thro' distant worlds and regions of the dead; No more shall atheists mock his long delay; His vengeance sleeps no more: behold the day. 2 Behold the Judge descends; his guards are nigh, Tempest and fire attend him down the sky; Heaven, earth and hell, draw near; let all things come To hear his justice and the sinners' doom; But gather first my saints (the Judge commands) Bring them, ye angels from their distant lands. 3 Behold my covenant stands forever good, Seal'd by th' eternal sacrifice in blood, And sign'd with all their names, the Greek the Jew That paid the antient worship or the new, There's no distinction here, prepare their thrones, And near me seat my favourites and my sons. 4 I, their almighty Saviour and their God, I am their Judge; Ye heavens proclaim abroad My just, eternal sentence, and declare Those awful truths, that sinners dread to hear; Sinners in Zion, tremble and retire; I doom the painted hypocrite to fire. 5 Not for the want of goats or bullocks slain Do I condemn thee; bulls and goats are vain, Without the flames of love; in vain the store Of brutal offerings that were mine before; Mine are the tamer beasts and savage breed, Flocks, herds, and fields, and forests where they feed. 6 If I were hungry, would I ask thee food? When did I thirst, or taste the victim's blood? Can I be flatter'd with thy cringing bows, Thy solemn chatterings and fantastic vows? Are my eyes charm'd thy vestments to behold, Glaring in gems, and gay in woven gold? 7 Unthinking wretch! how could'st thou hope to please A God, a spirit, with such toys as these? While with my grace and statutes on thy tongue Thou lov'st deceit, and dost thy brother wrong; In vain to pious forms thy zeal pretends, Thieves and adulterers are thy chosen friends. 8 Silent I waited with long-suffering love, But didst thou hope that I should ne'er reprove? And cherish such an impious thought within, That God, the righteous would indulge thy sin? Behold my terrors now; my thunders roll, And thy own crimes affright thy guilty soul. 9 Sinners, awake betimes; ye fools, be wise; Awake before this dreadful morning rise; Change your vain thoughts, your sinful works amend; Fly to the Saviour, make the Judge your friend; Lest like a lion his last vengeance tear Your trembling souls, and no deliverer near.

The LORD God Reigns in Majesty

He dwells between the cherubim; let earth's foundations shake. Supreme in Zion is the LORD, exalted gloriously. All nations, praise his name with awe: the Holy One is he. 2 The mighty King loves justice well and equity ordains. He rules his people righteously and faithfulness maintains. In worship at his footstool bow, let him exalted be. O magnify the LORD our God: the Holy One is he. 3 When priests and prophets called on God, he their petitions heard.
