When we in the judgment stand
In that mighty company,
When the judge a-questions us,
Oh, what shall our answers be?

Chorus: What for every sinful thought,
And each idle word we say,
What for every sinful act,
We may do from day to day.
When that awful day we see,
Oh, what shall our answers be?
When that awful day we see,
Oh, what shall our answers be?

Lord, it is a solemn thought
That we must account to thee.
In that great and awful day,
Oh, what shall our answer be?

(Chorus)
