1. And must I be to judgment brought, And answer in that day For every vain and idle thought, And every word I say? | 2. Yes, every secret of my heart Shall shortly be made known, And I receive my just desert For all that I have done. | 3. How careful, then, ought I to live, With what religious fear! Who such a strict account must give For my behavior here. | 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. | 5. If now thou standest at the door, O let me feel thee near; And make my peace with God, before I at the thy bar appear. | |
