3 Once you must die; and once for all
The solemn purport weigh:

For know that heav'n or hell are hung
On that important day.

4 Those eyes so long in darkness veil'd,
Must wake the JUDGE to see;
And ev'ry word and ev'ry thought
Must pass His scrutiny.

5 0 may I in the JUDGE behold
My SAVIOUR and my Friend;
And far beyond the reach of death,
With all His saints ascend.

542 "In my flesh shall I see God."

I

Job xix. 26.

KNOW that my REDEEMER lives,

L.M.

He lives and on this earth shall stand; And though to worms my flesh He gives, My dust lies number'd in His hand.

2 In this re-animated clay

I surely shall behold Him near;
Shall see Him in the latter day
In all His majesty appear.

3 I feel what then shall raise me up,
Th' eternal SPIRIT lives in me;
This is my confidence of hope,

That GOD I face to face shall see.

4 Mine own and not another's eyes
The KING shall in His beauty view;
I shall from Him receive the prize,
The starry crown to victors due.

543 "Behold, He cometh with clouds."

Rev. i. 7.

4-8's & 2-6's

HOU GOD of glorious majesty,
To Thee, against myself, to Thee,
A worm of earth I cry ;

A half-awaken'd child of man,
An heir of endless bliss or pain,
A sinner born to die.

2 Lo! on a narrow neck of land,
"Twixt two unbounded seas I stand,
Secure, insensible;

A point of time, a moment's space,
Removes me to that heav'nly place,
Or shuts me up in hell.

3 O GOD, mine inmost soul convert,
And deeply on my thoughtful heart
Eternal things impress;

Give me to feel their solemn weight,
And tremble on the brink of fate,
And wake to righteousness.

4 Be this my one great business here,
With serious industry and fear
Eternal bliss t' ensure:

Thine utmost counsel to fulfil,
And suffer all Thy righteous will,
And to the end endure.

5 Then, SAVIOUR, then my soul receive,
Transported from this vale to live,
And reign with Thee above;
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope in full, supreme delight,
And everlasting love.

544

"Ye know that it hated me."
John xv. 18.

11's & 12's

BELIEVE not the tales they are telling of

me,

[be, For slanders, and libels, and falsehoods they And though Satan may seek to disparage my

cause,

He trembles before me, whilst hating my laws;

And scoffers and mockers shall perish at last, When the red drops of vengeance fall thickly and fast!

2 The proud and the gay may go dancing along,

Delighting in music and joining the song; The bright sun above them may shed down his beams

On a vision of beauty-a region of dreams; But the scoffers and mockers shall perish at last,

When the red drops of vengeance fall thickly and fast!

3 But yet there is mercy, and JESUS will hear;

His arm is not shorten'd, nor heavy His ear: His heart is still loving, and tender, and kind;

Oh! flee to Him now, and a SAVIOUR you'll

find:

[last, For the scoffers and mockers shall perish at When the red drops of vengeance fall thickly

and fast.

great day:

Chorus.-Oh turn, poor sinner, or you can't escape the fire,

Or you can't escape the fire of that || great day!

17 You'd better be a Christian, &c.

Then you'll escape the fire in that great day.

"The voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God."-1 Thess. iv. 16.

L.M.

THE great archangel's trump shall sound,
(While twice ten thousand thunders roar,
Tear up the graves, and cleave the ground,
And make the greedy sea restore.

2 The greedy sea shall yield her dead,
The earth no more her slain conceal;
Sinners shall lift their guilty head,
And shrink to see a yawning hell.
8 But we, who now our LORD confess,
And faithful to the end endure,
Shall stand in JESUS' righteousness,
Stand, as the Rock of Ages, sure.

4 We, while the stars from heav'n shall fall,
And mountains are on mountains hurl'd,
Shall stand unmov'd amidst them all,
And smile to see a burning world.
5 The earth, and all the works therein,
Dissolve, by raging flames destroy'd,
While we survey the awful scene,
And mount above the fiery void.

6 By faith we shall transcend the skies,
And on that ruin'd world look down:
By love above all height shall rise,
And share the everlasting throne.

"And He sat upon the throne."
Rev. xxi. 5.

EE where the great incarnate GOD
Fills a majestic throne,

While from the skies His awful voice
Bears the last judgment down.
