1 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
How shall we stand in that great day
Shall we be found before Him wanting
Or with our sins all washed away

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
