4.

All aghaft then Death fhall fhiver, And great Nature's frame fhall quiver,

When the graves their dead deliver.

5.

Book where actions are recorded,

All the ages have afforded

Shall be brought, and dooms awarded.

6.

When shall fit the Judge unerring,
He'll unfold all here occurring,
No juft vengeance then deferring.

7.

What fhall I fay, that time pending? Ask what advocate's befriending,

When the just man needs defending?

4.

What can e'er that woe resemble

Where even Death and Nature tremble

As the rifing throngs affemble!

5.

Vain, my foul, is all concealing;
For the Book is brought, revealing
Every deed and thought and feeling.

6.

On His throne the Judge is feated,
And our fins are loud repeated,
And to each is vengeance meted.

7.

Wretched me! How gain a hearing,
Where the righteous falter, fearing,
At the pomp of His appearing?

8.

Dreadful KING, all power poffeffing,
Saving freely those confeffing,

Save Thou me, O Fount of Bleffing!

9.

Think, O JESUs, for what reason
Thou didst bear earth's spite and treason,
Nor me lofe in that dread season !

IO.

Seeking me Thy worn feet hafted,
On the cross Thy foul death tafted:
Let fuch travail not be wafted!

II.

Righteous Judge of retribution!
Make me gift of absolution

Ere that day of execution!

8.

King of majesty and splendor,

Fount of pity, true and tender,

Be, Thyself, my strong defender.

9.

From Thy woes my hope I borrow:
I did cause Thy way of forrow:

Do not lose me on that morrow.

IO.

Seeking me, Thou weary sankeft,

Nor from scourge and crofs Thou fhrankeft Make not vain the cup Thou drankest.

II.

Thou wert righteous even in flaying;
Yet forgive my guilty ftraying,
Now, before that day dismaying.

12.

Culprit-like I plead, heart-broken,
On my cheek fhame's crimson token:
Let the pardoning word be spoken !

13.

Thou who Mary gav'ft remiffion,
Heard'ft the dying thief's petition,

Cheer'ft with hope my loft condition.

14.

Though my prayers be void of merit,
What is needful, Thou confer it,
Left I endless fire inherit!

15.

Be there, Lord, my place decided With Thy sheep, from goats divided, Kindly to Thy right hand guided!
