Then I'm thinking OF jesus we also
conceive OF him ~ the righteous
Judge. "WhCn the Son Of Man shall
come In glory, then shall he sit on
he throne of glory. and before him
ahaIl he gathered all tho nations,
and he shall separate them one
from another" lie is the supreme
Judge and his judgments are final

the lips of this righteous Judge thee
shall be two phrases. Enter thou

part from mo ye cursed into eter
