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.
