XLVIII. The Last Judgment

1 See where the great incarnate God
fills a majestic Throne,
While from the Skies his awful Voice
bears the last Judgment down.
"I am the First, and I the Last,
"thro' endless Years the same
"I AM is my Memorial still,
"and my eternal Name.

2 "Such Favours as a God can give,
"my Royal Grace bestows;
"Ye thirsty Souls, come taste the Streams
"where Life and Pleasure flows.
"The Saint that triumphs o'er his Sins,
"I'll own him for a Son;
"The whole Creation shall reward
"the Conquests he has won.

3 "But bloody Hands, and Hearts unclean,
"and all the lying Race,
"The faithless and the scoffing Crew,
"that spurn at offer'd Grace;
"They shall be taken from my Sight,
"bound fast in Iron Chains,
"And headlong plung'd into the Lake
"where Fire and Darkness reigns."

4 O may I stand before the Lamb,
when Earth and Seas are fled!
And hear the Judge pronounce my Name
with Blessings on my Head!
May I with those for ever dwell
who here were my Delight,
While Sinners banish'd down to Hell,
no more offend my Sight.
