Where shall the ungodly, etc.
1 Pet. 4:18.
And will the Judge descend?
And must the dead arise?
And not a single soul escape
His all-discerning eyes?
2 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heaven before his face,
Astonished, shrink away?
3 But ere the trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead;
Hark! from the Gospel’s cheering sound,
What joyful tidings spread.
4 Ye sinners! seek his grace,
Whose wrath you can not bear;
Flee to the shelter of his cross,
And find salvation there.
5 Come! take his offers now,
From every sin depart,
Perform thy oft-repeated vow,
And render him thy heart.
6 Repent! return! receive
The grace through Jesus given;
Sure, if with God on earth we live,
We live with God in heaven.
