Heav'n Has Confirmed The Great Decree

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals First Line: Heav’n has confirmed the great decree Lyrics: 1 Heav’n has confirmed the great decree, That Adam’s race must die: One general ruin sweeps them down, And low in dust they lie. 2 Ye living men, the tomb survey, Where you must quickly dwell; Hark how the awful summons sounds In every funeral knell! 3 Once you must die, and once for all; The solemn purport weigh; For know, that Heav’n and Hell are hung On that important day. 4 Those eyes, so long in darkness veiled, Must wake the Judge to see. And every word, and every thought Must pass His scrutiny. 5 O may I in the Judge behold My Savior and my friend, And far beyond the reach of death With all His saints ascend. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
