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.

Refrain

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

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
