72   The judgement has set




[V1]
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?

[C]
How shall we stand in that great day?
How shall we stand in that great day?
Shall we found before Him wanting?
Or with our sins all washed away?

[V2]
The work is begun with those who are sleeping,
Soon will the living here be tried,
Out of the book of God’s remembrance,
His decision to abide,

[C]
How shall we stand in that great day?
How shall we stand in that great day?
Shall we found before Him wanting?
Or with our sins all washed away?

[V3]
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?

[C]
How shall we stand in that great day?
How shall we stand in that great day?
Shall we found before Him wanting?
Or with our sins all washed away?
