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
2
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.
3
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?
