Awake, Thou Guilty World, Awake

Awake

thou guil­ty world

awake

Whom God doth by His judg­ments shake

And to the dread tri­bun­al come!

Jesus on earth erects His seat

And cites you here your doom to meet

Type of your ev­er­last­ing doom:

Avenger of His slight­ed laws

His Gos­pel and His peo­ple’s cause

In right­eous wrath im­plac­able

The Lord with sword and fire shall plead

Throughout the world de­struct­ion spread

And sweep His slaugh­tered foes to hell.
