Passing Away 207b
Tune: John A. Watson, 1872
Lyrics: Charles Wesley, 1763
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
And must I be to judgment bro’t,
And answer in that day
For ev’ry vain and idle tho’t
And ev’ry word I say?
Chorus:
We are passing away
To that great judgment day.
Yes, ev’ry secret of my heart
Shall shortly be made known;
And I receive my just desert
For all that I have done.
(Chorus)
How careful, then, ought I to be;
With what religious fear,
Who such a strict account must give
For my behavior here.
(Chorus)
