LESSON XXV. Heaven and Hell
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
The judgment past, then down to hell The wicked go, in flames to dwell: Justice divine the gates shall bar, With endless sorrow and dispair. While Jesus rising from his throne, Shall lead the saints triumphant on, To enter there divine abode In the fair city of their God. There everlasting pleasures grow, Full rivers of salvation flow; And all their happiness appears, Increasing with eternal years.
