416. The Judgment Has Set

E                                         A  E
The judgment has set, the books have been o- pened;

B                     E    B7    E
How shall we stand in that great day,

E                                 A  E
When every thought, and word, and ac-tion,

B                  E      B7    E
God, the righteous Judge, shall weigh?

E            A                   E
How shall we stand in that great day?

E            A                   E
How shall we stand in that great day?

E                            A    E
Shall we be found before Him want-ing?

B                    E      B7  E
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?
