Acts 25:6: Sitting on the Judgment seat commanded, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Behold the man, the prisoner there!
Who now is standing at the bar,
Shall sit with Jesus' chosen ones,
Apostles shining on their thrones.
The saint whom those outrageous Jews
So fiercely vehement accuse,
With His assessors in the sky,
Shall the twelve tribes of Israel try.
The members one with Christ their Head,
So the Almighty hath decreed,
When heaven and earth are pass'd away,
Shall judge the world in that great day!
The angels too, the' accusing fiends,
Sentenced to pain that never ends,
Must then to their just doom submit,
While vengeance seals the burning pit!
