601 8, 8, 8. Ludv. M. Lindeman, 1812-87 1 2 Day of wrath! that day of mourning! See ful-filled the prophet's warn-ing, O what fear man's bos-om rendeth, When from heaven the Judge de-scend-eth, 5 Lo, the Book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded! Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, good Jesus! my salvation Caused Thy wondrous incarnation, Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me: Shall such grace in vain be brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning: Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the sinful woman savedst; Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, 15 With Thy favored sheep O place me! 17 Bows my heart in meek submission, Strewn with ash - es 2 tears and mourning! From the dust of earth re-turn-ing, Man for judgment must prepare him: 19 Spare, O God, in mer-cy spare him! |
