O Sinner, Where Will You Stand?

Charles Price Jones • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 28

Verse 1

When the overflowing scourge is passing swiftly o'er the land, When the tow'rs of human strength are falling thick on ev'ry hand; When the clouds hang dark and heavy, and the angry thunders roar, When the sun of earthly hope shall set, shall set to rise no more:

Chorus

O sinner, where will you stand? O brother, where will you stand? Have you made the Lord your refuge, are you hidden in His word? Are you leaning, are you leaning on the Lord?

Verse 2

When from heav'n to earth descending shall the King of glory come; When the nations, long so sinful, shall approach their awful doom; In the solemn separation that the Lord shall make that day, Will you stand with Christ, or will you with the wicked go away.

Chorus

O sinner, where will you stand? O brother, where will you stand? Have you made the Lord your refuge, are you hidden in His word? Are you leaning, are you leaning on the Lord?

Verse 3

There's an everlasting kingdom that in glory yet shall stand; And thro' Christ, at His next coming, Shall the meek possess the land; When the wicked shall be stubble, then shall God's own people reign, And their Lord shall dwell among them, when He comes to earth again.

Chorus

O sinner, where will you stand? O brother, where will you stand? Have you made the Lord your refuge, are you hidden in His word? Are you leaning, are you leaning on the Lord?
