Weighed and Wanting
When the Judge shall weigh our motives
1
When the Judge shall weigh our motivesFor eternal gain or loss,Shall we stand as gold before him,Or as vile and worthless dross?
2
Shall we hear the glad words spoken:"Faithful servant," and "well done,"Or the dread and awful sentence,"Thou art wanting," sinful one?
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
Weighed in the balance of the Lord,Weighed, weighed, and wanting;Weighed by the standard of his word,Weighed, weighed, and wanting.
