- 1Weighed in the balance of justice true,Sinful the, path thou hast trod;Weighed and found wanting, will it be you?Weighed by the word of God.Weighed and found wanting,(Weighed by the word, weighed and found wanting,)Weighed and found wanting,(Weighed by the word, weighed and found wanting,)Rejected at heaven’s door.
- 2There it will hurt like a wounding dart,When this dread answer shall fall,“Weighed and found wanting,”‘twill pierce thy heartAt the last judgment call.Weighed and found wanting,(Weighed by the word, weighed and found wanting,)Weighed and found wanting,(Weighed by the word, weighed and found wanting,)Rejected at heaven’s door.
- 3Weighed by the Word which is given now,Search it and know thou art pure,Unto its mandates in meekness bow,Then thou shalt be secure.Weighed and found wanting,(Weighed by the word, weighed and found wanting,)Weighed and found wanting,(Weighed by the word, weighed and found wanting,)Rejected at heaven’s door.
- 4At the tribunal where Christ is judge,Where ev’ry deed in made known,“Weighed and found wanting,” each guilty soul,Stands there before His throne.Weighed and found wanting,(Weighed by the word, weighed and found wanting,)Weighed and found wanting,(Weighed by the word, weighed and found wanting,)Rejected at heaven’s door.
