Before the Great Jehovah’s Bar

Before the great Je­ho­vah’s bar

Soon must as­sem­bled worlds ap­pear

And ev­ery word

and deed

and thought

Shall in­to judg­ment then be brought.

Then all shall hear their right­eous doom

Of wrath

or end­less joys to come;

And each re­ceive his just re­ward

Of bliss or ven­geance from the Lord.

Dear Lord

it was Thine high­est joy

To save where sin did once de­stroy;

While thun­der­ing ven­geance rolls ab­ove

We trust in Thy re­deem­ing love.

Hail! God of un­ex­am­pled grace

All Heav’n shall sound Thine end­less praise;

High glo­ries to the dy­ing Lamb

Who death

by His own death

o’ercame.
