How Shall We Stand? | Songs and Everlasting Joy

May the Lord bless you as you listen to this very solemn hymn. It brings tears to my eyes. The choice is ours. Will we let Jesus work in our hearts? Or will we be found wanting? How shall we stand?

A miracle has occurred and the technical issues have been overcome. Thank God for that!

How Shall We Stand

Verse 1
The judgment has set, the books have been opened;
How shall we stand in that great day,
When every thought, and word, and action,
God, the righteous Judge, shall weigh?

Refrain
How shall we stand in that great day?
How shall we stand in that great day?
Shall we be found before Him wanting?
Or with our sins all washed away?

Verse 2
The work is begun with those who are sleeping,
Soon will the living here be tried,
Out of the books of God’s remembrance,
His decision to abide.

Verse 3
O, how shall we stand that moment of searching,
When all our sins those books reveal?
When from that court, each case decided,
Shall be granted no appeal?
