The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38, Pt. 2: Thy judgment now is near
Thy judgment now is near
For we are come Into 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 the subvenite with the priest
Hither the echoes come
Before the throne stands the great Angel of the Agony
The same who strengthened him that time
He knelt lone in that garden shade
Bedewed with blood
That Angel best can plead with him
For all tormented souls
The dying and the dead
For we are come Into 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 the subvenite with the priest
Hither the echoes come
Before the throne stands the great Angel of the Agony
The same who strengthened him that time
He knelt lone in that garden shade
Bedewed with blood
That Angel best can plead with him
For all tormented souls
The dying and the dead
