Who can thy strict tribunal face,
Or stand before th’ Almighty’s frown,
Approach thee in thy brightest place,
Look full upon thy glorious throne!
God inaccessible thou art;
Yet who by faith thy Son receive,
Perfect in love, and pure in heart,
They here shall see thy face, and live.
Who can Thy strict tribunal face
