Weighed—Found Wanting

Author: A. S. K. Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Warning First Line: Sinner, awake from thy sleep of sin Refrain First Line: Weighed in the balances Lyrics: 1 Sinner, awake from thy sleep of sin; God’s final judgment is nigh at hand, When all the nations before his throne, Judged by his word there will fall or stand.
