1.When the Judge shall weigh our motives,For eternal gain or loss,Shall we stand as gold before him?Or as vile and worthless dross?Refrain:Weigh'd in the balance of the Lord,Weigh'd, weigh'd, and wanting;Weigh'd by the standard of his word,Weigh'd, weigh'd, and wanting.2.Shall we hear the glad words spoken:"Faithful servant," and "Well done,"Or the dread and awful sentence,"Thou are wanting," sinful one? [Refrain]3.Shall we heed the Spirit's pleading,While for mercy we may call,Or delay till God's handwritingSeals the final doom of all? [Refrain]
