Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #503 (1814) Meter: Irregular Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy Lyrics: 1. The God of glory sends his summons forth,
Calls the south nations, and awakes the north;
From east to west his sov'reign orders spread,
Through distant worlds and regions of the dead.
The trumpet sounds: hell trembles; heav'n rejoices;
Lift up you heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices.
2 No more shall atheists mock his long delay;
His vengeance sleeps no more; behold the day!
Behold, the Judge descends! his guards are nigh;
Tempests and fire attend him down the sky.
When God appears, all nature shall adore him:
While sinners tremble; saints rejoice before him.
3 Sinners, awake betimes; ye fools, be wise;
Awake before this dreadful morning rise.
Change your vain thoughts, your wicked ways amend;
Fly to the Saviour, make the Judge your friend;
Then join the saints; wake ev'ry cheerful passion:
When Christ returns, he comes for your salvation. Topics: Judgment and the End of the World Languages: English

Tempest and fire attend Him down the sky:
Heav’n, earth, and hell, draw near; let all things come
To hear My justice, and the sinner’s doom:
But gather first My saints, the Judge commands,
“Bring them, ye angels, from their distant lands.

Sealed by th’eternal Sacrifice in blood,
And signed with all their names; the Greek, the Jew,
That paid the ancient worship or the new.
There’s no distinction here; join all your voices,
And raise your heads, ye saints, for Heav’n rejoices.
4. Here, saith the Lord, ye angels, spread their thrones,
And near me seat My favorites and My sons:
Come, My redeemed, possess the joys prepared
Ere time began; ’tis your divine reward.
When Christ returns, wake every cheerful passion;
And shout, ye saints, He comes for your salvation.
5. “I am the Savior, I th’Almighty God,
I am their Judge: ye heav’ns, proclaim abroad
My just eternal sentence, and declare

Now feel My wrath, nor call My threat’nings vain;
Thou hypocrite, once dressed in saints’ attire,
I doom the painted hypocrite to fire.
Judgment proceeds; hell trembles; Heav’n rejoices;
Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices.
7. Not for the want of goats or bullocks slain
Do I condemn thee; bulls and goats are vain
Without the flame of love; in vain the store
Of brutal offerings that were Mine before.
Earth is the Lord’s, all nature shall adore Him;
While sinners, tremble, saints rejoice before Him;
8. If I were hungry, would I ask thee food?
When did I thirst, or drink thy bullocks’ blood?
Mine are the tamer beasts and savage breed,
Flocks, herds, and fields and forests where they feed.
All is the Lord’s, He rules the wide creation;
Gives sinners vengeance, and the saints salvation.
9. Can I be flattered with thy cringing bows,
Thy solemn chatterings and fantastic vows?
Are My eyes charmed thy vestments to behold,
Glaring in gems, and gay in woven gold?
God is the judge of hearts, no fair disguises
Can screen the guilty when His vengeance rises.
10. Unthinking wretch! how couldst thou hope to please
A God, a Spirit, with such toys as these,
While, with My grace and statutes on thy tongue,
Thou lov’st deceit, and dost thy brother wrong?
Judgment proceeds; hell trembles; Heav’n rejoices;
Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices.
11. In vain to pious forms thy zeal pretends;
Thieves and adulterers are thy chosen friends.
While the false flatterer at My altar waits,
His hardened soul divine instruction hates.
God is the judge of hearts, no fair disguises
Can screen the guilty when His vengeance rises.
12. Silent I waited with long-suffering love,
But didst thou hope that I should ne’er reprove?
And cherish such an impious thought within,
That the All-Holy would indulge thy sin?;
See, God appears; all nature joins t’adore Him:
Judgment proceeds, and sinners fall before Him.
13. Behold My terrors now: My thunders roll,
And thy own crimes affright thy guilty soul;
Now like a lion shall My vengeance tear
Thy bleeding heart, and no deliverer near.
Judgment concludes; hell trembles; Heav’n rejoices:
Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices.
14. Sinners, awake betimes; ye fools, be wise;
Awake before this dreadful morning rise;
Change your vain thoughts, your crooked works amend,
Fly to the Savior, make the Judge your friend;
Then join the saints, wake every cheerful passion;
When Christ returns, He comes for your salvation. Languages: English Tune Title: YORKSHIRE
