Pardon, Lord, our ev'ry failing; HYMN 400. Eights and Sixes. Longing for a place at the right hand of the WHEN thou, iny righteous Judge, shall come To fetch thy ransom'd people home, Shall I among them stand Shall such a worthless worm as I, But can I bear the piercing thought? Thy pard'ning voice, Oh, let me hear, Nor let me fall, I pray. 4 Let me among thy saints be found, Whene'er th' archangel's trump shall sound, To see thy smiling face; Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing, WH HYMN 401. C. M. The End of the World. WHY should this earth delight us so ? On these low grounds where sorrows grow, 2 While time his sharpest teeth prepares Our comforts to devour, There is a land above the stars, 3 Nature shall be dissolv'd and die, 4 When will that glorious morning rise HYMN 402. L. M. A happy Resurrection. NBut with a cheerful gasp resign, I'll repine at death no more, To the cold dungeon of the grave, ; 2 Let worms devour my wasting flesh, 3 Break, sacred morning, thro' the skies, Cut short the hours, dear Lord, and come, HYMN 403. C. M. The Last Judgment. Haloud th' archangel cries; E comes! he comes! to judge the world, While thunders roll from pole to pole 2 Th'affrighted nations hear the sound, The slumb'ring tenants of the ground, 3 Amid the shouts of num'rous friends, The Judge in solemn pomp descends, 4 His head and hairs are white as snow, A radiant crown adorns his brow, 5 Writ on his thigh his name appears, 6 Now he ascends the judgment-seat, 7 Princes, and peasants here expect While the long kindling wrath within 9 And now in words divinely sweet, Aloud his sacred lips repeat The sentence of his grace: 10" Well done, my good and faithful sons, The children of my love, Receive the sceptres, crowns, and thrones, Prepar'd for you above."
