See Where the Great Incarnate God

Composer: 16th Century

See where the great in­car­nate God

Fills a ma­jes­tic throne

While from the skies His aw­ful voice

Bears the last judg­ment down.

“I am the first

and I the last

Through end­less years the same;

I AM is My me­mor­ial still

And My eter­nal name.

“Such fa­vors as a God can give

My roy­al grace be­stows:

Ye thirs­ty souls

come taste the streams

Where life and plea­sure flows.

“The saint that tri­umphs o’er his sins

I’ll own him for a son;

The whole cre­ation shall reward

The con­quests he has won.

“But bloody hands and hearts un­clean

And all the ly­ing race

The faith­less and the scoff­ing crew

That spurn at of­fered grace;

They shall be tak­en from My sight

Bound fast with ir­on chain

And head­long plunged in­to the lake

Where fire and dark­ness reign.

O may I stand be­fore the Lamb

When earth and seas are fled!

And hear the Judge pro­nounce my name

With bless­ings on my head!

May I with those for­ev­er dwell

Who here were my de­light!

While sin­ners

ban­ished down to hell

No more of­fend my sight.
