The last judgment. <br /> <br />Rev. 21:5-8. <br /> <br />See where the great incarnate God <br />Fills a majestic throne; <br />While from the skies his awful voice <br />Bears the last judgment down. <br /> <br />["I am the first, and I the last, <br />Through endless years the same; <br />I AM is my memorial still, <br />And my eternal name. <br /> <br />"Such favors as a God can give <br />My royal grace bestows: <br />Ye thirsty souls, come taste the streams, <br />Where life and pleasure flows.] <br /> <br />["The saint that triumphs o'er his sins, <br />I'll own him for a son; <br />The whole creation shall reward <br />The conquests he has won. <br /> <br />"But bloody hands, and hearts unclean, <br />And all the lying race, <br />The faithless and the scoffing crew, <br />That spurn at offered grace; <br /> <br />"They shall be taken from my sight, <br />Bound fast in iron chains, <br />And headlong plunged into the lake <br />Where fire and darkness reigns."] <br /> <br />O may I stand before the Lamb, <br />When earth and seas are fled! <br />And hear the Judge pronounce my name, <br />With blessings on my head! <br /> <br />May I with those for ever dwell <br />Who here were my delight! <br />While sinners, banished down to hell, <br />No more offend my sight.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-45/
