Hymn

See The Eternal Judge Descending

Anonymous

See the eternal Judge descending!

View him seated on his throne!

Now, poor sinner, now lamenting,

Stand and hear thine awful doom;

Trumpets call thee,

Stand and hear thine awful doom!

Hear the cries he now is venting,

Filled with dread of fiercer pain;

While in anguish thus lamenting

That he ne'er was born again--

Greatly mourning

That he ne'er was born again.

"Yonder sits my slighted Saviour,

With the marks of dying love;

Oh, that I had sought his favor

When I felt his Spirit move--

Golden moments,

When I felt his Spirit move!"
