Matthew 25:46: Most gracious, most tremendous Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Most gracious, most tremendous Lord,
The sentence which proceeds from Thee,
For punishment, or for reward.
Must stand through all eternity:
Our states assign'd by wrath, or love,
Shall neither change, nor period know.
But long as saints rejoice above,
Unhappy souls shall howl below.
