416. The Judgment Has Set

D                                         G  D
The judgment has set, the books have been o- pened;

A                     D    A7    D
How shall we stand in that great day,

D                                 G  D
When every thought, and word, and ac-tion,

A                  D      A7    D
God, the righteous Judge, shall weigh?

D            G                   D
How shall we stand in that great day?

D            G                   D
How shall we stand in that great day?

D                            G    D
Shall we be found before Him want-ing?

A                    D      A7  D
Or with our sins all washed a - way?


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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?

[Refrain]
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?

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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?
