EN 4748 John in Vision Saw the Day

Rom.8.34

Versi Version 1

1

John in vision saw the day

When the Judge will hasten down;

Heav’n and earth shall flee away

From the terror of His frown:

2

Dead and living, small and great,

Raised from the earth and sea;

At His bar shall hear their fate,

What will then become of me?

3

Can I bear His awful looks?

Shall I stand in judgment then,

When I see the opened books,

Written by th’ Almighty’s pen?

4

If He to remembrance bring,

And expose to public view,

Every work and secret thing,

Ah, my soul, what canst thou do?

5

When the list shall be produced

Of the talents I enjoyed;

Means and mercies, how abused!

Time and strength, how misemployed!

6

Conscience then, compelled to read,

Must allow the charge is true;

Say, my soul, what canst thou plead

In that hour, what wilt thou do?

7

But the book of life I see,

May my name be written there!

Then from guilt and danger free,

Glad I’ll meet Him in the air:

8

That’s the book I hope to plead,

’Tis the Gospel opened wide;

Lord, I am a wretch indeed!

I have sinned, but Thou hast died.

9

Now my soul knows what to do;

Thus I shall with boldness stand,

Numbered with the faithful few,

Owned and saved, at Thy right hand:

10

If Thou help a foolish worm

To believe Thy promise now;

Justice will at last confirm

What Thy mercy wrought below.
