When you come to the end of your life’s lit¤tle day,
And the pleas¤ures of sin are all fled,
When you stand on the brink of the riv¤er of death
In your lone¤li¤ness, sor¤row and dread.

Chorus:
Then, O what will you do On that great day of days
When you stand in His pres¤ence a¤lone?
With no Christ in your heart, and you can¤not es¤cape
From the light of the great judg¤ment throne.

Since the Lord hath de¤clared that we sure¤ly must die,
And that day is ap¤proach¤ing for you;
Should the cold hand of death find you still with your sins
All un¤par¤doned, Oh what will you do?

Will you come to this Friend, who in love to your soul,
Left the glo¤ries of Heav¤en a¤bove,
To a¤tone for your sins when He died on the Cross
In His in¤fi¤nite mer¤cy and love?

O what an¤guish of soul, if you have to de¤part
On that day when be¤fore Him you stand,
When the light shall re¤veal you are not of His fold,
And you si¤lent¤ly take the left hand.
