otan elthes o theos epi ges

When Thou shalt come, O Lord,

Wrapt in Thy glory bright,

Then shall the earth in terror quake,

The sun withhold his light.

When Thou shalt come, O Lord,

Then to Thy judgment-bar,

Even as a mighty stream, shall flow

The sons of men from far.

When Thou shalt come, O Lord,

Then save me by Thy power;

Let not the flames of wrath o'ertake

Thy servant in that hour.

When Thou shalt come, O Lord,

In mercy let me stand --

No guilt upon my conscience laid --

Approved, at Thy right hand.
