1 Weighed in the balance, and wanting!
Judged by the Man crucified;
Hushed is the voice of thy boasting,
“Finished” the kingdom of pride!

Refrain:
Weighed in the balance, and wanting!
Weighed! ev’ry hope now is past;
Christ, the Redeemer, rejected,
“Wanting” the verdict at last!

2 Weighed in the balance, and wanting!
Worthless thy righteousness all;
Built on the sand thy professions;
See how they totter and fall! [Refrain]

3 Weighed in the balance, and wanting!
Cankered thy silver and gold;
Wealth can provide thee no ransom;
Shut is the door of the fold. [Refrain]

4 Weighed in the balance, and wanting!
Missed the bright heavenly goal!
What shall the worldly gain profit,
Losing forever thy soul? [Refrain]
