<strong>My</strong> turn will soon be here,<br />
<strong>The</strong> end is drawing near,<br />
I hear its warning plainly;<br />
Death knocketh at my door<br />
And tells me all is o'er,<br />
And I would fly him vainly.<br />
Ah! who in this my strait<br />
Will be mine Advocate?<br />
Will all things leave me friendless?<br />

<strong>This</strong> Judge is ever just,<br />
His righteous doom is endless.<br />

Alone canst help me now,<br />
But 't was for this Thou camest,<br />
To save us in this hour;—<br />
<strong>The</strong>n show Thy mercy's power,<br />
For they are safe Thou claimest.<br />
Speak Thou for me! Thou art<br />
<strong>The</strong> refuge <strong>of</strong> my heart;<br />
With gladness let me hear <strong>The</strong>e;<br />
Bid me to <strong>The</strong>e ascend,<br />
Where praise shall never end,<br />
And love shall aye be near <strong>The</strong>e.<br />
