The Judgment

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The long last note has sounded Lyrics: 1 The long last note has sounded, The dead from dust to call; The sinner stands confounded, With fear on fear surrounded, As by a sea unbounded, Before the Judge of all. 2 No longer now delaying The hour of dreaded doom; No more the sentence staying, No more the cross displaying, In wrath His throne arraying, The Judge, the Judge has come! 3 What wild shrill voice of mourning Comes up from hill and plain? Dark spirits, pardon scorning, Proud hearts, long mercy spurning, Bold rebels, deaf to warning, Now cry, but cry in vain! 4 See how these heav’ns are rended By yon sky-filling blast; Earth’s year of grace is ended; He who in clouds ascended, Now, with Heav’n’s hosts attended, Returns, returns at last! 5 Cease, man, thy God-defying; Cease thy best friend to grieve; Cease, man, thy self-relying; Flee from the endless dying; Swiftly thy time is flying; Embrace the Son and live! 6 Give up thy vain endeavor To heal thy wounds and woes; He is of life the Giver, And from His cross the river, Which quenches thirst for ever, All freely to thee flows. 7 With gush, and gleam, and singing, See the bright fountain rise. For thee that fount is springing, To thee its gladness bringing— Why then so madly clinging To vanity and lies?
