1. On that great day of judgment, what will you say?
When all the books are opened, and none can hide away;
When every hidden secret by the Judge will be made known,
And you behold the harvest of the seed you here have sown.

Refrain
Render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s,
But give unto God His own;
For the great day of judgment is coming soon,
When every knee shall bow before the great white throne.

2. On that great day of judgment, what will you do?
If Jesus tells the Father that you He never knew;
And you’re refused a fleeting glimpse of heav’nly joy to see,
But with the lost are doomed to spend a long eternity. [Refrain]

3. On that great day of judgment, no fear I’ll know;
By grace I was delivered on Calv’ry long ago;
O hasten while there yet is time God’s promise to prove true,
For He has said that His shed blood doth still avail for you. [Refrain]
