The Wisdom and Equity of Providence

Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Judgment and mercy; Judgment seat of God; Mercies and judgment First Line: When the great Judge supreme and just Lyrics: 1 When the great Judge supreme and just, Shall once enquire for Blood, The humble Souls that mourn in Dust, Shall find a faithful GOD. 2 He from the dreadful Gates of Death Does his own Children raise; In Sion's Gates, with cheerful Breath, They sing their Father's Praise. 3 His Foes shall fall with heedless Feet, Into the Pit they made; And Sinners perish in the Net That their own Hands had spread. 4 Thus by thy Judgment, mighty GOD, Are thy deep Counsels known; When Men of Mischief are destroy'd, The Snare must be their own. Pause. 5 The Wicked shall sink down to Hell; Thy Wrath devour the Lands That dare forget Thee, or rebel Against thy known Commands. 6 Tho' Saints to sore Distress are brought, And wait, and long complain, Their Cries shall not be still forgot, Nor shall their Hopes be vain. 7 [Rise, great Redeemer, from thy Seat, To judge and save the Poor; Let Nations tremble at thy Feet, And Man prevail no more. 8 Thy thunder shall affright the Proud, And put their Hearts to Pain, Make 'em confess that thou art GOD, And they but feeble Men.] Scripture: Psalm 9:12-20

Hypocrisy Exposed

Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Judgment Day First Line: The Lord the Judge his Churches warns Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the Judge his Churches warns, Let Hypocrites attend and fear, Who place their Hope in Rites and Forms, But make not Faith nor Love their Care. 2 Vile Wretches dare rehearse his Name With Lips of Falsehood and Deceit; A Friend or Brother they defame, And sooth and flatter those they hate. 3 They watch to do their Neighbours wrong, Yet dare to seek their Maker's Face; They take his Cov'nant on their Tongue, But break his Laws, abuse his Grace. 4 To Heav'n they lift their Hands unclean, Defil'd with Lust, defil'd with Blood; By Night they practise ev'ry Sin, By Day their Mouths draw near to God. 5 And while his Judgments long delay, They grow secure, and sin the more; They think he sleeps as well as they, And put far off the dreadful Hour. 6 O dreadful Hour! when God draws near And sets their Crimes before their Eyes! His Wrath their guilty Souls shall tear, And no Deliv'rer dare to rise. Scripture: Psalm 50

Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Judgment Day Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the Sov'reign, sends his Summons forth, Calls the South Nations, and awakes the North; From East to West the sounding Order's 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: Heav'n, Earth, and Hell, draw near; let all Things come To hear his Justice, and the Sinner's Doom; But gather first my Saints (the Judge commands) Bring 'em, ye Angels, from their distant Lands. 3 Behold my Cov'nant stands for ever good, Seal'd by th' eternal Sacrifice in Blood, And sign'd with all their Names; the Greek, the Jew, That paid the ancient Worship, or the new, There's no Distinction here; Come, spread their Thrones, And near me seat my Fav'rites and my Sons. 4 I their Almighty Saviour and their GOD, I am their Judge; ye Heav'ns, 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 Off'rings, 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, wou'd I ask thee Food? When did I thirst, or drink thy Bullocks Blood? Can I be flatter'd with thy cringing Bows, Thy solemn Chatt'rings and fantastick 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 & Statutes on thy Tongue, Thou lov'st Deceit, and dost thy Brother wrong, In vain to pious Forms thy Zeal pretends, Thieves and Adult'rers 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 crooked Works amend; Fly to the Saviour, make the Judge your Friend; Lest like a Lion his last Vengeance tear Your trembling Souls, and no Deliv'rer near. Scripture: Psalm 50

The God of glory sends his summons forth, Calls the south nations, and awakes the north; From east to west his sov'reign orders spread, Through distant worlds and regions of the dead.

Behold, the Judge descends! his guards are nigh; Tempests and fire attend him down the sky.

Change your vain thoughts, your wicked ways amend; Fly to the Saviour, make the Judge your friend; Then join the saints; wake ev'ry cheerful passion: When Christ returns, he comes for your salvation.

The Handwriting on the Wall

Author: Knowles Shaw Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance The Judgment First Line: At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords Refrain First Line: 'Tis the hand of God on the wall Lyrics: 1 At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords, While they drank from golden vessels, as the Book of Truth records, In the night as they reveled in the royal palace hall, They were seiz'd with consternation, at the hand upon the wall. Chorus: 'Tis the hand of God on the wall, 'Tis the hand of God on the wall. Shall the record be "Found wanting," Or shall it be "Found trusting," While the hand is writing on the wall? 2 See the brave captive Daniel as he stood before the throng, And rebuked the haughty monarch for his mighty deeds of wrong; As he read out the writing,'twas the doom of one and all; For the kingdom now "is writing of his God upon the wall." [Chorus] 3 See the faith, zeal, and courage that would dare to do the right, Which the Spirit gave to Daniel this the secret of his might; In his home in Judea, or a captive in the hall, Yet he understood the writing of his God upon the wall. [Chorus] 4 All our deeds are recorded; there's a land that's writing now; Sinner, give your heart to Jesus, to his royal mandate bow; For the day is approaching, it must come to one and all, When the sinner's condemnation will be written the wall. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords]
