The day of judgment will shew the connection between sin and misery
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: God from his throne with piercing eye Lyrics: 1 God from his throne with piercing eye,
Naked does ev'ry heart behold;
But never, till we come to die,
To us will such a view unfold.
2 Should sin, in naked form appear,
Just as it rises in the heart,
And others know and see it there
In ev'ry feeling, every thought:
3 The fire of hell must kindle soon,
How envy and revenge would flame!
One heart would urge another on,
Till rage and vengeance want a name!
4 Sin in its nature would appear
A living death, to form a hell;
The worst of mis'ries creatures fear,
The worst of plagues the tongue can tell.
5 Unvail'd and naked ev'ry heart
Before the judgment seat must stand,
Sin act no more a double part,
But meet a death from its own hand.
6 The fiery lake must hotter grow
From the fierce clash of sinful souls;
Each bosom like a furnace glow,
Nor God the rage, or fire control.
