Passing Away

Lyrics

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)
