And must I be to Judgment brought
1
And must I be to Judgment brought,And answer in that day,For every vain and idle thought,And every word I say?
2
Yes; every secret of my heartShall shortly be made known,And I receive my just desertFor all that I have done.
3
How careful, then, ought I to live,With what religious fear;Who such a strict account must giveFor my behaviour here!
4
Thou awful Judge of quick and dead,The watchful power bestow;So shall I to my ways take heed,In all I speak or do.
