THE HYPOCRITES REWARD by GLADYS CROMWELL

First Line: WHEN CAME HIS FINAL JUDGMENT
Last Line: HE WORE THEM IN GOD'S NAME.
Subject(s): HYPOCRISY; JUDGMENT DAY; END OF THE WORLD; DOOMSDAY; FALL OF MAN;
WHEN came his final judgment,
God gave him for his prize
The crown, the single sceptre,
He'd worn as his disguise.

The crown, the single sceptre,
A new, familiar shame;
For when he came to judgment,
He wore them in God's name.
