"I was hungry, I was thirsty, I was naked, "And ye minister'd to me.' 5 But how awful is the sentence, "Go from me, ye cursed race, "To that place of endless torment, "Never more to see my face: "I was hungry, I was thirsty, I was naked, "Ye to me no mercy show'd." [6 Now awake, ye slumbring virgins, Trim your lamps, the bridegroom's near; Budding shows the summer's near.] 7 Jesus, save a trembling sinner, While thy wrath o'er sinners roll: Jesus, save me, Jesus save me, when the lightnings 381. 8. 7. 4. Swain. Judgment....Jude 14, 15. 1 LO, he comes, array'd in veng'ance, Who can stand before his rod? 2 Lo, he comes in glory shining: Saints, arise and meet your king? Glorious captain of salvation, Welcome, welcome, hear them sing? Shouts of triumph Make the heavens with echoes ring? [3 Now despisers, look and wonder! Hope and sinners here must part! Justice seals it-- Down they sink to rise no more! Ye who scorn the Lamb that dy'd!] While their captain leads the way! Opens an eternal day.] 382. 8.7. 4. Newton. 1 DAY of judgment, day of wonders! Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge, our nature wearing, Cloth'd in majesty divine! You, who long for his appearing, Own me in that day for thine! 3 At his call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea: What will then become of thee? 4 Horrors past imagination, Will surprise your trembling heart, When you hear your condemnation, "Hence, accursed wretch, depart! "Thou with satan "And his angels have thy part!" 5 But to those who have confessed, Lov'd and serv'd the Lord below; He will say, "Come near, ye blessed, "See the kingdom I bestow: "You, for ever, "Shall my love and glory know." 6 Under sorrows and reproaches, May this thought our courage raise: We shall triumph, When the world is in a blaze! 383. 10s. S--. 5.6. The happy Meeting of Body and Soul....Rev. x. 5. 6. 1 SWIFT from the heavens a mighty angel flies, 2 The solemn trumpet wakes the countless dead, And trembling mortals leave their clay-cold bed, Lo! from before the dazzling throne of God, Celestial forms come down th' ethereal road; 3 Each radiant form assumes its native mate, And looks and wonders at its glorious state; 66 Is this the feeble frame I left behind ? "So beauteous now!" exclaims the raptur'd mind: 4 "Before opprest with sickness and with pain; "Now life immortal runs in ev'ry vein : "Are these the feet, which, often, tir'd and slow, Crept trembling on to join the church below? " 5 "Are these the hands I us'd to spread abroad, "In humble acts of pray'r and praise to God? "What briny drops once trickled down this face, "Which heavenly smiles adorn, and ev'ry grace! 6 "Eternal scenes pour on my ravish'd sight, "Now so much strengthen'd for the vast delight! "No more disease shall dart with fatal aim"His deadly venom thro' my sickly frame: 7 "No more this body shall distress my soul.... "Impede her flight....her noblest pow'rs control; "The dark, mysterious path that once I trod, "Now now I see, it was the way to God! 8 "Join, all ye heavenly hosts, your anthems raise, "Nor let one tongue be mute from songs of praise;" Instant the tuneful choir, in sounding strains, Pour their melodious notes o'er all the plains. 384. L. M. Swain. Justification by Faith.... Gal. ii. 16. 1 SINNERS, away from Sinai fly; And read your peace and pardon there 2 Search into ev'ry open wound, Trace the sharp scourge, the nails, the spear; In golden letters written there. 3 No works of man to raise the sum, 4 Your faith, your hope and righteousness, Your rich supplies of grace and peace Spring from the works your Lord has done. 5 Hell opens her ten thousand graves, To swallow those that die in sin; But all the great Immanuel saves, Heaven's open gates shall welcome in. 385. L. M: Hill. Kingdom of Christ....Psalm xlv. 3-5. 1 WHEN Jesus first, at heaven's command, Descended from his azure throne, Attending angels join'd his praise, Who claim'd the kingdom for his own. [Hail, Immanuel! Immanuel we'll adore, And sound his fame from shore to shore.] 2 Girt with Omnipotence and grace, The pow'rs of darkness trembling stood, To hear the dire decree, and feel The vengeance of the mighty God." 3 Not with the sword that warriors wear, But with a sceptre dipt in blood, |
