The Judgment Day (Oatman)

At the bar of God you will have to stand

When the books are op­ened by the Sav­ior’s hand;

Then for ev­ery thought and each word you say

You will have to an­swer

on the judg­ment day.

On the judg­ment day

dread­ful judg­ment day

We shall meet our Sav­ior on the judg­ment day;

Then what will you do? Oh

what will you say

When you stand be­fore Him on the judg­ment day?

There you’ll meet each friend

There you’ll meet each foe

Will they bring you plea­sure?

Will they cause you woe?

For the way you act

while on earth you stay

Will con­demn or save you on the judg­ment day.

Every act of life will be there made known

When we see our Sav­ior on the judg­ment throne;

Many deeds that here we would hide away

Will be heard by mill­ions

on the judg­ment day.

Every hour we spend in the Mas­ter’s cause

Will be weighed by mer­cy ’gainst His brok­en laws;

Every song we sing

ev­ery pray­er we pray

Will be wait­ing for us on the judg­ment day.

Let us then live close to the bleed­ing side

Of that pre­cious Sav­ior

who for us hath died;

For if we love Him and His voice ob­ey

Joyfully we’ll meet Him

on the judg­ment day.
