Thou judge of quick and dead

1.

Thou judge of quick and dead

Before whose bar severe

With holy joy, or guilty dread

We all shall soon appear;

Our cautioned souls prepare

For that tremendous day

And fill us now with watchful care

And stir us up to pray

2.

To pray, and wait the hour

That awful hour unknown

When rob’d in majesty and pow’r

Thou shall from heaven come down

Th’ Immortal Son of Man

To judge the human race

With all Thy Father’s dazzling train

With all Thy glorious grace

3.

O may we thus be found

Obedient to His word

Attentive to the trumpet’s sound

And looking for our Lord

O may we thus ensure

A lot among the blest

And watch a moment to secure

An everlasting rest!
