For A Sick Friend In Darkness

O Lord, how happy should we be

When Thou my righteous Judge shalt come

When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come
To fetch Thy ransomed 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?
