The judgment has set
the books have been opened;
How shall we stand in that great day
When every thought
and word
and action
God
the righteous Judge
shall weigh?
How shall we stand in that great day?
Shall we be found before Him wanting?
Or with our sins all washed away?
The work is begun with those who are sleeping
Soon will the living here be tried
Out of the books of God’s remembrance
His decision to abide.
O
how shall we stand that moment of searching
When all our sins those books reveal?
When from that court
each case decided
Shall be granted no appeal?
