1 And must I be to judgment brought,
And answer in that day
For every vain and idle thought,
And every word I say? MIM 76.1
2 Yes, every secret of my heart
Shall shortly be made known,
And I receive my just desert
For all that I have done. MIM 76.2
3 How careful, then, ought I to live!
With what religious fear,
Who such a strict account must give
For my behavior here! MIM 76.3
4 Thou awful Judge of quick and dead.
The watchful power bestow;
So shall I to my ways take heed,
To all I speak or do. MIM 76.4
5 If now thou standest at the door,
O let me feel thee near,
And make my peace with God, before
I at thy bar appear. MIM 77.1
