Who in his mean condition here

Verse 1
Who in his mean condition here
Refus’d the humbled Son of man,
Induc’d his righteous wrath severe
And perish’d without mercy slain:
Who scorn Him on his glorious throne,
More hardned than rebellious Jews,
His judgments shall on them come down,
His vengeance shall forever bruise.

Verse 2
Who on thy mystic Body fall,
Thy church, O Lord, they cannot shock,
But broken fly, and scatter’d all
Like dashing glass against a Rock:
And who their fearful state can tell,
When Christ t’ avenge his saints shall come,
His whole Almighty wrath reveal,
And fix their everlasting doom!
