Great God, if once co­mpared with Thine,
Love that bids us en­ter in.
Who with Je­sus’ blood were bought;
Foredoomed by Heav’n’s de­cree,
Chanted of, while ag­es ran;
Rise to an­swer the ci­ta­tion.
But love doth fast en­close.
Waiting for the Great As­size.
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

See the brave cap­tive, Da­ni­el,
Death, judg­ment, hell it speaks to thee;
Of our thoughts, and act­ions, too.
On the soul where your choic­es are sealed;
Not the most per­fect rules they gave
Traced so deep­ly in the smit­ing
Of that day so soon to come;
A voice goes forth— Be free!
Promised since the world be­gan;
All the by-gone past re­cit­ing,
O band of mourn­ers poor!
Which shall judge the quick and dead;
Nailed with Thy bo­dy to the tree:
