WHEN, rising from the bed of death, O'erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I see my Maker face to face, O, how shall I appear ? -2 If yet, while pardon may be found, And mercy may be sought, My heart with inward horror shrinks, And trembles at the thought; g 3 When thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed 0 P In majesty severe, And sit in judgment on my soul, O, how shall I appear ? 1 HYMN 439.

That when thou comest on thy throne, I may with joy appear. g1 WESLEY'S COL. HYMN 440. C. M. Dundee. [*] F Heaven.
