P50c. When Christ to Judgment shall descend

1 When Christ to Judgment shall descend,
And Saints surround their Lord,
He calls the Nations to attend,
And hear his awful Word.

2 "Not for the Want of Bullocks slain
"Will I the World reprove;
"Altars, and Rites, and Forms are vain,
"Without the Fire of Love.

3 "And what have Hypocrites to do
"To bring their Sacrifice?
"They call my Statutes just and true,
"But deal in Theft and Lies.

4 "Could you expect t' escape my Sight,
"And sin without Controul?
"But I shall bring your Crimes to Light,
With Anguish in your Soul."

5 Consider, ye that slight the Lord,
Before his Wrath appear;
If once you fall beneath his Sword,
There's no Deliv'rer there.
