<p>That awful day will surely come,<br>
Th&#8217;appointed hour makes haste,<br>
When I must stand before my Judge,<br>
And pass the solemn test.</p>
<p>Thou lovely Chief of all my joys,<br>
Thou Sovereign of my heart!<br>
How could I bear to hear Thy voice<br>
Pronounce the sound, &#8220;Depart!&#8221;</p>
<p>The thunder of that dismal word<br>
Would so torment my ear,<br>
&#8217;Twould tear my soul asunder, Lord,<br>
With most tormenting fear.</p>
<p>What! to be banished from my Life,<br>
And yet forbid to die!<br>
To linger in eternal pain,<br>
Yet death forever fly!</p>
<p>O, wretched state of deep despair!<br>
To see my God remove,<br>
And fix my doleful station where<br>
I must not taste His love.</p>
<p>Jesus, I throw my arms around,<br>
And hang upon Thy breast;<br>
Without a gracious smile from Thee<br>
My spirit cannot rest.</p>
<p>O, tell me that my worthless name<br>
Is graven on Thy hands;<br>
Show me some promise in Thy book<br>
Where my salvation stands!</p>
<p>Give me one kind assuring word<br>
To sink my fears again,<br>
And cheerfully my soul shall wait<br>
Her threescore years and ten.</p>
