Line 30: Line 30:
Thou judge of quick and dead,  
Thou judge of quick and dead,  
Before whose bar severe,  
Before whose bar severe,  
With holy joy or guilty dread.
With holy joy or guilty dread,
We all shall soon appear;  
We all shall soon appear;  
Do thou our souls prepare  
Do thou our souls prepare  
For that tremendous day;  
For that tremendous day;  
And fill us now with watchful care.
And fill us now with watchful care,
And teach our hearts to pray.  
And teach our hearts to pray.  
Oh, may we thus insure,
Oh, may we thus insure  
A lot among the blest,  
A lot among the blest,
And watch a moment to secure
An everlasting rest.  
An everlasting rest.

Thou judge of quick and dead,
Before whose bar severe,
With holy joy or guilty dread,
We all shall soon appear;
Do thou our souls prepare
For that tremendous day;
And fill us now with watchful care,
And teach our hearts to pray.
Oh, may we thus insure
A lot among the blest,
And watch a moment to secure
An everlasting rest.
