       I go, whither turn, whither flee from thy presence? O just
       equity of God, judging all things in number, weight, and
       measure,  and  weighing  all  things  in  thy  most  true  and
       strict balance; woe, woe is me if I fall into thy hands, and
       have no advocate to plead my cause. O good Jesus, I flee
       unto thee, unto thee I sigh from my inmost heart; do thou
       answer  for  me,  do  thou  obtain  forgiveness  for  my  sins;
       plead thou my cause, that my soul may live for thy sake.
       O  Jesus,  my  Love,  who  for  love  of  me  wast  seized and
       bound  and  dragged  to  an  unrighteous  tribunal,  that  on
       thee  might  be  laid  the  sins  of  the  whole  world,  though
       there  was  in  thee  no  sin  nor  stain  save  that  thou  didst
       love  me  and  bear  my  sins,  I  take  thee  this  day  for  my
       Advocate and Friend at the bar of God. O  my sweetest

       Jesus, beloved pledge of my redemption, do thou come

       with me to my judgment. Be thou thyself my Judge and
       my Advocate. Tell forth all that thou hast done for me, all
       thy  thoughts  of  love  towards  me,  at  what  a  price  thou
       hast made me thine. Thou hast lived for me, that I might
       not perish; thou hast borne my sins, that I might not be
       crushed by their weight; and thou hast died for me, that I
       might not die; and thou hast on me, that in thy merits I
       might  be  rich.  Wherefore  judge  me  in  the  hour  of  my
       death  according  to  that  sinlessness  which  thou  hast

       my debt, condescending to be judged and condemned for
       me. Amen.

         conferred upon me in thyself, in that thou hast paid all
