4 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

TREMENDOUS God, with humble fear, Prostrate before thy awful throne, The irrevocable word we hear, The sovereign righteousness we own.

Verse 2

' Tis fit we should to dust return, Since such the will of the most High; In sin conceived, to trouble born, Born only to lament and die.

Verse 3

Submissive to thy just decree, We all shall soon from earth remove; But when thou sendest, Lord, for me, O let the messenger be love!

Verse 4

Whispering thy love into my heart, Warn me of my approaching end; And then I joyfully depart, And then I to thy arms ascend.
