Weighed in the Balance

Verse 1

Weighed 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.

Chorus

Weighed and found wanting, Weighed and found wanting, Rejected at Heaven’s door.

Verse 2

There it will hurt like a wounding dart When this dread answer shall fall; Weighed and found wanting—’twill pierce thy heart At the last judgment call.

Verse 3

Weighed 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.

Verse 4

At the tribunal where Christ is judge, Where every deed is made known, Weighed and found wanting each guilty soul Stands there before His throne.
