LyicsTHAT awful day will surely come,
Th' appointed hour makes haste,
When you must stand before the Judge,
And pass the solemn test.
Thou lovely Prince of all our joys,
Thou sovereign of our heart,
How could we bear to hear thy voice,
Pronounce the word, "Depart."
O wretched state of deep despair!
And must our God remove,
And fix their doleful station where
They cannot taste his love?
O haste to have your worthless names
Engraven on his hands;
Obey the precepts of his book,
Where his salvation stands.
