With what religious fear! Who such a strict account must give For my behavior here! 4 Thou awful Judge of quick and dead, Thy watchful power bestow; So shall I to my ways take heed, To all I speak or do. 5 If now Thou standest at the door, O let me feel Thee near! And make my peace with God, before I at Thy bar appear. Scripture: Psalm 139:23 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
