Impending Judgments

Verse 1

Come, let our souls adore the Lord Whose judgments yet delay; Who yet suspends the lifted sword, And gives us time to pray.

Verse 2

Great is our guilt, our fears are great, But let us not despair; Still open is the mercy seat To penitence and prayer.

Verse 3

Kind Intercessor, to Thy love This blessèd hope we owe; O let Thy mercies plead above, While we implore below!

Verse 4

Though justice near Thy awful throne Attends Thy dread command, Lord, hear Thy servants, hear Thy Son, And save a guilty land.
