How shall we stand in that great day sda hymnal

Franklin E Belden

Verse 1

The judgment has set, the books have been opened;
How shall we stand in that great day,
When every thought, and word, and action,
God, the righteous Judge, shall weigh?

Refrain

How shall we stand in that great day?
How shall we stand in that great day?
Shall we be found before Him wanting?
Or with our sins, all washed away?

Verse 2

The work is begun with those who are sleeping,
Soon will the living here be tried,
Out of the books of God’s remembrance,
His decision to abide.

Verse 3

O, how shall we stand that moment of searching,
When all our sins those books reveal?
When from that court, each case decided,
Shall be granted no appeal?

He composed this hymn in 1886. He left the SDA church in 1907. It is hymn no. 416 in the SDA Hymnal.

He was such a talented musician who could author poems as well as the tunes.

It is reported that he could compose hymns while the preacher was still preaching and sing the songs soon after the sermon.

He composed so many songs such as We Will Build On The Rock.
