Death is truck, and nature quaking,

All creation is awaking,

To its Judge an anwer making!

Lo, the Book, exactly worded!

Wherein all hath been recorded;

Thence hall judgment be awarded.

When the Judge His eat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unaveng'd remaineth.

What hall I, frail man, be pleading, Who for me be interceding, When the jut are mercy needing?
