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?
Refrain
How
shall we stand in that
great day?
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.
Refrain
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?
Refrain
