Author: J. A. B. Hymnal: CH1951 #104 (1951) First Line: In a day that is not far Refrain First Line: Oh, my record will be there Lyrics: 1 In a day that is not far,
At the blazing judgment bar,
Even now the awful summons I can hear;
I must meet the mighty God,
I must face His holy Word,
I must stand before the judgment bar.
Chorus:
Oh, my record will be there,
Be its pages dark or fair,
When I stand before the judgment bar;
When the books shall open lie,
In that morning by and by,
Oh, my record, oh, my record will be there.
2 I must meet each broken vow,
That I hold so lightly now,
Ev'ry heartache I have caused, each sigh, each tear;
Things that time cannot erase,
I must meet them face to face,
When I stand before the judgment bar. [Chorus]
3 Ev'ry secret lust and tho't
There shall be to judgment bro't,
When the Lord in all His glory shall appear;
All the deeds of darkest night
Shall come out to greet the light,
When I stand before the judgment bar. [Chorus]
4 I must meet my cankered gold,
For whose greed my life was sold,
It shall mock me in the judgment’s lurid glare;
Saying ye have sold for naught,
All the Savior’s blood has bo't,
You must stand before the judgment bar. [Chorus]
5 Let me turn and seek the Lord,
Let me trust His holy Word,
Let me bow and call upon Him while He’s near;
Then when I my record face,
He will answer in my place
When I stand before the judgment bar. [Chorus] Topics: Judgment Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:14 Languages: English Tune Title: [In a day that is not far]
