HYMN 64. C. M

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
