The Second Part. Sing this as the 25th. Psalm. 1 Thou, Lord, art the high Judge, Most righteous art also; And all the world must judged be, And their rewards have too. 2 Impartially proceed Wilt thou in that great day, And every Man's Indictment read, And hear what they can say. 3 The honour of the Lord, The mighty God above, Thou seekest to raise, and now thou wilt All doubts of Men remove. 4 Now all the works of men, And thoughts of every heart Shall unto Judgment come, and then Shall all have their deserts: ⟨p. 147⟩5 The Books shall open be Of Law and Gospel too, And Conscience shall be called upon To charge, or clear also. 6 All deeds of darkness shall Be brought unto the light; For nothing can be hid at all From the great Judge's sight. 7 O think upon this day, And for it now prepare; For quickly Christ will come away, Who will no Sinners spare.

The Third Part. 1 How dreadful is a righteous Judge To such who guilty be! But none like thee, O holy One, Clothed in Majesty. 2 Thy Countenance how will it shine Much brighter than the Sun; All wicked ones will weep and pine, And see themselves undone: 3 Conscience will in that dreadful day The guilty Sinner fright, And all his deeds before him lay Done by him day or night.
