Judge Us Lord
Judge us Lord, in unequal measures
weight not all our unnumbered sins.
Our offences lying unjustified
as our private eternity ends.
Tip the scale in mankind’s favor
with love and blessing You bestow.
In our great trials, be our defender
keep us Lord, in divine control.
Extol the souls that came before us
in their reverance of your law.
As celestial routes of time have tested,
as the tested below veneration fall.
All but one has fallen short
yet, each one has heard Your name.
Blind your eyes to our shortcomings,
uncritical words, be it our shame.
Amen to this our cherished memories
for the destiny of each reverent soul
will be to rest in eternal slumber
with God’s love to make us whole.
