When Christ Jerusalem beheld

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CXVI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ Jerusalem beheld, As he approached near-- His heart her doleful state bewail'd, His eyes they flow'd with tears. 2 He look'd on her with deep distress, And strove to be here friend; But O, her heighth of wickedness, Determin'd her fatal end. 3 Did'st thou but know in this thy day, That which would work thy peace; Before thy help is done away, And will forever cease. 4 But now these things are hid from thee, And from thine eyes conceal'd-- The time is near when thou must see: God's threat'nings all fulfill'd. 5 Justice and judgements must take place, Thy sins have brought them down; Long ye abus'd the means of grace, Which ye held as your own. 6 Thy foes they shall compass thee round, And fill thy streets with fear! Thy walls laid level with the ground And thou brought to despair. 7 Such woes as never were on earth, In ev'ry part shall rage; Great famine, wars and cruel death Shall sweep thee of the stage. 8 The Jews, they shar'd their awful fate And thus were made to know; That vice destroy'd their church and state, And prov'd their overthrow. 9 Long have we heard thy warnings Lord, But we regard it not-- And just according to thy word: Their fate must be our lot.
