Some day
Perhaps not far away,
The Lord shall come to thy Soul and say,
"Away! Away!
Thou must leave thine earthly house of clay,
And haste away!"
The Soul then must leave its earthly clay,
From its wealth and its loved ones must haste
away.
And stand at the Judgment Throne,
And face its God alone.
For the Soul can take nought of its wealth,
Its pride, its learning, or earthly pelf,
But must stand at the Judgment Throne,
And face its Maker alone.
Then all the acts of the Soul through the years,
When it robbed and hated, and caused many
tears.
Shall come and stand at the Throne,
With the Soul and its Maker alone.
And all the ruined lives the Soul led astray,
With Liquor and Vice, and Sin's Great Sad Way,
Shall come and stand at the Throne,
With the Soul and its Judge alone. 'to'
And the Judge shall point to His loved ones
around,
And say,
" These millions of Just on the earth
were found.
And each one came and stood at the Throne,
Alone with the Great Judge alone!
" For I count not learning, nor wealth, nor
birth
These are nought to Me for I own the earth,
And send each Soul before the Throne
To stand at the Bar alone.
" But the Soul that has faith and trusts on Me,
And scorns not the poor nor the toiler, shall be
Not afraid to stand at the Throne,
And face its Judge alone.
" But woe to the Soul that leads others astray
From Love and from Virtue and My Bright
Way-
It shall stand at the Throne,
Before its Judge alone.
" For the poorest Soul I send to the earth,
Leaves as rich as the proudest kings of birth
For each Soul stands at the Throne,
Facing its Judge alone!"
I
The Judge but smiles at wealth, learning, and
birth-
He knows they are only vain baubles of earth;
And each Soul stands at the Throne,
Facing its Judge alone!
O Souls that dwell on earth to-day
O Souls that never to Him pray
O Souls that lead frail ones astray
O Souls that care not for Judgment, but say,
" We have wealth, we will drive all care away!"
Remember
There comes a day.
When God to each Soul shall say,
"Away ! Away !
From thine earthly clay!
Thou must leave thy wealth and loved ones
to-day !
Thou must give account before the Throne!
For verily every Soul I own
Each Soul is Mine yea, Mine alone
Thou shalt stand before the Throne,
And reap what thou hast sown!"
