When the Book is Opened

Representative Text

1 When your toils below are ended,
And the race of life is run,
And the book of life is opened,
Will your name be found thereon?

Refrain:
When the book of life is opened,
And you stand before the Son
On the final day of reck’ning,
Will your name be found thereon?

2 When you pilgrim here no longer,
And your work on earth is done,
And the book of life is opened,
Will your name be found thereon? [Refrain]

3 When the days of earth are gathered
Into His great judgment one,
And the book of life is opened,
Will your name be found thereon? [Refrain]
