Eternal of all,

Attend unto our prayer,

Reject not,, our earnest call;

Thy humble servants spare.

Prepare us for that Day

Of everlasting doom,

When Thou wilt call Thy saints away

Unto their heavenly Home.

Lest we, before Thy throne,

When all for judgment stand,

Should shrink beneath Thy angry frown,

Amid the ungodly band.

But rather give us grace

In holiness to grow,

Thy blessed footsteps,, to trace,

And follow Thee below.

That when the archangel's voice

And trumpet wake the dead,

Placed on Thy right we may rejoice

In Thee, our risen Head.
