112. To Think What It Will Be

1 I know that death awaits me,
And I account must give,
To Him, who will reward me,--
According as I live.

Refrain:
To think what it will be,
To think what it will be!
And my heart is sad as I stop {tonight, today}
To think what it will be!

2 My day is fast declining,--
Life's sun is sinking low,
And I must to a judgment,
All glad or hopeless go. [Refrain]

3 Each morning, noon and evening,
Brings whisp'rings unto me,
Which say, not far out yonder,
That I the grave shall see. [Refrain]

4 Shall I, to it go weeping,
'Neath God's condemning frown,
And know that I, on waking,
Shall wear no starry crown? [Refrain]
