The rich sinner's Death, and the Saint's Resurrection

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #92b (1787) First Line: Why do the proud insult the poor Lyrics: 1 Why do the proud insult the poor, And boast the large estates they have! How vain are riches to secure Their haughty owners from the grave! 2 They can’t redeem one hour from death With all the wealth in which they trust; Nor give a dying brother breath, When God commands him down to dust. 3 There the dark earth and dismal shade Shall clasp their naked bodies round; That flesh so delicately fed Lies cold, and moulders in the ground. 4 Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies, And leaves his glories in the tomb; The saints shall in the morning rise, And find th’ oppressor's awful doom. 5 His honours perish in the dust, And pomp and beauty, birth and blood; That glorious day exalts the just To full dominion o’er the proud. 6 My Saviour shall my life restore, And raise me from my dark abode; My flesh and soul shall part no more, But dwell forever near my God.

Hypocrisy exposed

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #95 (1787) 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 covenant on their tongue, But break his laws, abuse his grace. 4 To heaven they lift their hands unclean Defil'd with lust, defil'd with blood; By night they practise every sin, By day their mouths draw near to God. 5 And while his judgements long delay, They grow secure and sin the more; They think he sleeps as well as they, And put far off the dreadful hour. 7 Oh dreadful hour! when Gof draws near, And sets their crimes before their eyes! His wrath their guilty souls shall tear, And no deliverer dare to rise.

The last Judgement

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #96 (1787) First Line: The Lord, the sovereign sends his summons forth Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the sovereign sends his summons forth, Calls the south nations, and awakes the north; From East to West the sounding orders 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; Heaven, earth and hell, draw near; let all things come To hear his justice and the sinners' doom; But gather first my saints (the Judge commands) Bring them, ye angels from their distant lands. 3 Behold my covenant stands forever good, Seal'd by th' eternal sacrifice in blood, And sign'd with all their names, the Greek the Jew That paid the antient worship or the new, There's no distinction here, prepare their thrones, And near me seat my favourites and my sons. 4 I, their almighty Saviour and their God, I am their Judge; Ye heavens 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 offerings 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, would I ask thee food? When did I thirst, or taste the victim's blood? Can I be flattered with thy cringing bows, Thy solemn chatterings and fantastic 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 and statutes on thy tongue Thou lov'st deceit, and dost thy brother wrong; In vain to pious forms thy zeal pretends, Thieves and adulterers 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 sinful works amend; Fly to the Saviour, make the Judge your friend; Lest like a lion his last vengeance tear Your trembling souls, and no deliverer near.

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #101 (1787) First Line: O thou that hear'st when sinners cry Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their memory from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin: Let thy good spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banish'd from thy sight: Thine holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Though I have griev'd thy spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford, And let a wretch come near thy throne, To plead the merits of thy Son. 5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 6 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemn'd to die. 7 Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pardoning God. 8 O may thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord my strength and righteousness.
