Lyrics The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38 / Pt. 2: "Thy Judgement Now Is Near" - Yvonne Minton feat. Sir Peter Pears, John Shirley-Quirk, London Symphony Orchestra & Benjamin Britten
My
judgment
now
is
near,
for
we
are
Coming
to
the
veiled
presence
of
our
God
I
hear
the
voices
that
I
left
on
earth
It
is
the
voice
of
friends
around
Thy
bed,
who
say
those
Who
pain
Thee
now
with
a
priest
be
there
the
echoes
found
Before
the
throne
stands
the
great
angel
of
the
agony
The
same
who
strengthened
Him,
ath
time
He
knelt
Alone
in
the
garden-shade,
besmeared
with
blood
That
angel
best
can
plead
with
Him
for
all
Tormented
souls,
the
dying
and
the
dead
Jesu,
by
that
sultry
dread
which
fell
on
Thee;
Jesu,
by
that
cool
Dismay
which
sickened
Thee;
Jesu,
by
that
pang
of
heart
which
Thrilled
in
Thee;
Jesu,
by
that
mount
of
sins
which
crippled
Thee
Jesu,
by
that
sense
of
guilt
which
stifled
Thee;
Jesu,
by
that
Innocence
which
girdled
Thee;
Jesu,
by
that
sanctity
which
veiled
Thee;
Jesu,
by
that
Godhead
which
was
one
with
Thee;
Jesu,
spare
These
souls
which
are
so
dear
to
Thee;
souls
who
in
prison
calm
and
Patient
wait
for
Thee;
hasten,
Lord,
their
hour,
and
bid
them
come
To
Thee,
to
that
glorious
home
where
they
shall
ever
gaze
on
Thee
Jesu,
spare
these
souls
which
are
so
dear
to
Thee
