When the Book of Life Is Unsealed

You are writ­ing a re­cord each day that you live

On the soul where your choic­es are sealed;

By and by an ac­count for your life you must give

And the record will then be re­vealed.

When the great Book of life is un­sealed

And your re­cord is clear­ly re­vealed;

What hope then for you? What

soul

will you do?

When the sec­rets of life are re­vealed?

O

ye care­less ones

thought­less ones liv­ing in sin

So ne­glect­ful of deeds which you do;

Know you not that your sin is re­cord­ed with­in

And will go to the judg­ment with you?

Yet there’s hope for the trust­ing and pe­ni­tent soul

All its sins may be blot­ted away;

By and by all shall know that the blood mak­eth whole

When the Book is un­sealed in that day.
