What for ev’ry triffling tho’t, And each idle word we say? What for ev’ry sinful act We may do from day to day. Chorus: When that awful day we see, Oh, what shall our answers be? When that awful day we see, Oh, what shall our answers be? 2 When the Lord has gather'd there From the land and from the sea, All the families of men, Oh, what shall our answers be? What for all our want of faith, What for all our lack of love. Can we hope a crown to gain, And a mansion bright above. [Chorus] 3 Lord, it is a solemn tho’t, That we must account to Thee, In that great and awful day, What shall our poor answers be? Oh, prepare us, Lord, we pray, In the presence there to stand, Purge us from each sinful blot, Place us, Lord, on Thy right hand.
