First Line: When Christ to judgement shall descend Lyrics: 1 When Christ to judegment 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 to ’scape 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 deliverer there.
