Weighed in the Balance

Weighed in the bal­ance of jus­tice true

Sinful the path thou hast trod;

Weighed and found want­ing—

Will it be you?

Weighed by the word of God.

Weighed and found want­ing

Weighed and found want­ing

Rejected at Heav­en’s door.

There it will hurt like a wound­ing dart

When this dread an­swer shall fall;

Weighed and found want­ing—

’Twill pierce thy heart

At the last judg­ment call.

Weighed by the word which is giv­en now

Search it and know thou art pure;

Unto its man­dates in meek­ness bow

Then thou shalt be se­cure.

At the tri­bun­al where Christ is judge

Where ev­ery deed is made known

Weighed and found want­ing

Each guil­ty soul

Stands there be­fore His throne.
