Verse 1
The process of that dreadful day,
Discerning truth from specious lies,
Shall every principle display,
Shall every doctrine scrutinise,
If one with the unerring word,
The standard of our heavenly Lord.
Verse 2
He comes triumphant from above,
His lightnings set the world on fire;
The fire shall every fabric prove,
And if, ‘midst flaming worlds entire,
‘Midst burning heat thy house remain,
Thou shalt a full reward obtain.
Verse 3
But if the fire thy work consume,
Thy labour’s recompence is lost;
Yet rescued from the’ apostate’s doom,
Who feebly didst on Jesus trust,
Thou shalt out of the burning fly,
And scarcely saved, attain the sky.
