Who Shall Be Able to Stand? (Shaw)

When the trump of God shall sound

And the na­tions ga­ther round

And the Judge shall sit up­on His roy­al throne;

Who will hear the wel­come word

From the lips of Christ the Lord

Enter in

good and faith­ful

well done.

Who shall be able then to stand?

Who shall be able then to stand?

All who trust in Christ the Lord

And ob­ey His ho­ly word;

These shall be able then to stand.

When the del­uge swept the world

And to death its mill­ions hurled

And the waters co­vered ov­er all the land;

Those who trust­ed in the Lord

And ob­eyed His ho­ly word

These were all that were able to stand.

When the ci­ties of the plain

Were en­vel­oped in the flame

And de­struct­ion swept the mul­ti­tudes away;

There was just a lit­tle band

Who were able then to stand

In that great and that ter­ri­ble day.

When the day of wrath is come

And the day of mer­cy gone

And to judg­ment they are called from ev­ery land;

Sinner

how is it with thee?

Christian

how then shall it be?

Shall we all be able then to stand?
