1. And must I be to judgment brought,
   And answer in that day
   For every vain and idle thought,
   And every word I say?

2. Yes, every secret of my heart
   Shall shortly be made known,
   And I receive my just desert
   For all that I have done.

3. How careful, then, ought I to live,
   With what religious fear!
   Who such a strict account must give
   For my behavior here.

4. Thou awful Judge of quick and dead,
   The watchful power bestow;
   So shall I to my ways take heed,
   To all I speak or do.

5. If now thou standest at the door,
   O let me feel thee near;
   And make my peace with God, before
   I at the thy bar appear.
