Verse 1
When we in the judgment stand, In that mighty company, And the Judge shall question us, Oh, what shall our answers be? What for ev‘ry trifling tho’t, And each idle word we say? What for ev‘ry sinful act We may do from day to day?
Verse 2
When the Lord has ga­thered there, From the land and from the sea, All the fa­mi­lies of men, Oh, what shall our an­swers be? What for all our want of faith, What for all our lack of love? Can we hope a crown to gain, And a man­sion bright above.
Verse 3
Lord, it is a so­lemn tho’t, That we must ac­count to Thee! In that great and aw­ful day, What shall our poor an­swers be? Oh, pre­pare us, Lord, we pray, In Thy pre­sence there to stand! Purge us from each sin­ful blot; Place us, Lord, on Thy right hand!
Chorus
When that aw­ful day we see, (When that awful day we see, day we see,) Oh, what shall our an­swers be? (Oh, what shall our answers be, our answers be?) When that aw­ful day we see, (When that awful day we see, day we see,) Oh, what shall our an­swers be? (Oh, what shall our answers be?)
