109. Weighed And Wanting
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.
* CHORUS
Weighed in the balances of the Lord,
Weighed, weighed and wanting;
Weighed by the standard of his word
Weighed, weighed and wanting. *
Shall we hear the glad words spoken,
“Faithful servant,” and “Well done,”
Or the dread and awful sentence,
“Thou art wanting,” sinful one?
Shall we heed the Spirit’s pleading,
While for mercy we may call,
Or delay till God’s handwriting,
Seals the final doom of all.
