The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#72b

72b. When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come

1 When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come
To take thy ransom'd people home,
Shall I among them stand?
Shall such a worthless worm as I,
Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Be found at thy right hand?

2 Blest Saviour, grant it, by thy grace;
Be thou my only hiding-place,
In this the accepted day;
Thy pardoning voice, oh, let me hear,
To still my unbelieving fear,
Nor let me fall, I pray.

3 And when the archangel's trump shall sound,
Let me among thy saints be found,
To see thy smiling face:
Then in triumphant strains I'll sing,
While heaven's resounding mansions ring
With shouts of sovereign grace.
