When the Book Is Opened

When the Book is op­ened on that last great day

Will your heart be glad with­in?

Will your name be writ­ten on the dear Lord’s side

Or among the hosts of sin?

I shall see Him with re­joic­ing;

A song of praise I’ll sing;

My name is writ­ten in the Book of Life

And I’m on the side of the King.

When the trump is sound­ing thro’ the flam­ing skies

When from Heav’n the Judge des­cends

Will you stand with those who have re­ject­ed Him

Or among His loy­al friends?

When the Book is op­ened and the re­cord read

Will the Christ stand by your side

Saying

Right­eous Fa­ther

give to Me My own;

For this soul I bled and died!
