16945. A Solemn Day Is Coming

1 O a sol­emn day is com­ing,
When I’ll stand be­fore the throne,
While each sin that I’ve com­mit­ted,
Shall for judg­ment be made known.

Refrain:
O a sol­emn day is com­ing!
Are my sins all washed away?
Shall I be ac­count­ed faith­ful,
And with Jesus dwell for aye?

2 O I think of loved ones wait­ing
On the hap­py, peace­ful shore;
Shall I be pre­pared to meet them,
When the toils of life are o’er? [Refrain]

3 Have I warned the lost of dan­ger
As they tread the paths of sin,
Telling of the bless­ed Sav­ior
Who has died their souls to win? [Refrain]

4 Father, let me nev­er fal­ter
In the straight and nar­row way,
That I may be rea­dy, watch­ing,
When shall come that sol­emn day. [Refrain]
