Ye Various Tribes Of Men

Representative Text

1 Ye various tribes of men,
Behold a coming God,
In splendid state He rides,
And casts His wrath abroad:
Before His throne shall all appear,
And from His lips their sentence hear.

2 The rebels who defied
His justice and His power
Shall tremble when they see
The vengeful flames devour:
Distressed, undone, no friend they have
Their cause to plead, no one to save.

3 But those who love the Lord,
And make His name their trust,
The contrite and sincere,
The faithful and the just,
Shall hear Him say, Ascend ye blessed,
To mansions of eternal rest.
