Which Will It Be?

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14767 First Line: When the work of life is ended Refrain First Line: Which will it be? Rapture or woe? Lyrics: 1 When the work of life is ended, And the judgment day appears, When you stand before the Master To account for all the years; When the righteous Judge shall call you And your record-leaves unroll, Will you tremble with the sinners, Or will rapture thrill your soul? Refrain: Which will it be? Rapture or woe? This you must know. Which will it be? 2 When the nations all are gathered In the presence of the King, On that day of days, my brother, Will you sigh, or will you sing? Will the light of hope be shining Like a radiant morning star? Or will deep remorse assail you When you stand before the bar? [Refrain] 3 If your soul is now in bondage, Ask the Lord to set you free; Do not wait another moment— Opportunity may flee; Oh, it lies with you, my brother, It is your alone to say Whether joy or woe shall meet you On the awful judgment day. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the work of life is ended]
