51. God’s Judgment Bar

1 God’s Judgment bar! Justice complete,
No loving Jesus to entreat,
Forever closed Redemption’s door
No Mercy-seat for evermore.

Refrain:
Before that awful day doth dawn,
Before all hope for you has gone
Accept the love of Jesus sweet,
For there is still a Mercy-seat.

2 God’s Judgment bar! The great white Throne!
An unforgiven soul alone.
No Saviour there to intercede,
No Mercy-seat at which to plead. [Refrain]

3 God’s Judgment bar! Compassion fled!
Relentless justice in its stead.
Then come, while Jesus waits to greet,
For there is still a Mercy-seat. [Refrain]

4 The Mercy-seat Christ made for thee.
He died that you might pardoned be
That tho’ in sin you’ve stray’d afar
You need not fear God’s Judgment bar. [Refrain]
