Hymn 211
When Thou, My Righteous Judge
When Thou, my righteous Judge shall come
To fetch Thy ransomed people home,
To fetch Thy ransomed people home,
Shall I among them stand?
Shall such a worthless worm as I,
Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Be found at Thy right hand?
I love to meet among them now,
Before Thy gracious feet to bow,
Before Thy gracious feet to bow,
Tho' vilest of them all;
But can I bear the piercing tho't:
What if my name should be left out,
What if my name should be left out,
When Thou for them shall call?
Prevent, prevent it by Thy grace;
Be Thou, dear Lord, my hiding place,
Be Thou, dear Lord, my hiding place,
In this accepted day;
Thy pard'ning voice, O let me hear
To still my unbelieving fear,
To still my unbelieving fear,
And grant me faith, I pray.
Let me among Thy saints be found
Whene'er th' archangel's trump shall sound.
Whene'er th' archangel's trump shall sound,
To see Thy smiling face;
Then loud among the crowd I'll sing
While heav'n's resounding mansions ring,
While heav'n's resounding mansions ring
With shouts of sov'reign grace.
