382 What Will Be Your End?
Verse 1
The end of all things draws near,
all of heaven and earth is over.
How can man escape
the final days of human existence?
How can those who revere God
and long for Him to appear
not see the day of God’s righteous appearance?
Verse 2
How can they not be given
the final reward for goodness?
Are you the one who does good
or are you one who does evil?
Do you accept righteous judgment
and thus become obedient?
Or do you accept it only to end up being cursed?
Pre-chorus
Have you lived in light
before the seat of God’s judgment?
Or have you been living
in darkness in the underworld?
Don’t you know best
if you’ll be rewarded or punished?
Don’t you know best that God is righteous?
Chorus
So just what are your conduct and heart like?
How much have you given up for God?
How deeply do you worship Him?
Don’t you know most clearly
your behavior towards Him?
You should know better than anyone
what end you will finally meet.
Verse 3
God only created man, so created you also,
but didn’t hand you to Satan,
make you resist or rebel against Him,
and be punished by Him.
Aren’t all these afflictions because
your hearts are too hard
and your conduct too despicable?
Chorus
So just what are your conduct and heart like?
How much have you given up for God?
How deeply do you worship Him?
Don’t you know most clearly
your behavior towards Him?
You should know better than anyone
what end you will finally meet.
Bridge
Don’t you decide your own end?
And don’t you know your end in your heart?
The reason God conquers people
is to reveal them and bring salvation.
It’s not to make you do evil
or lead you to hell of ruin.
In the end won’t your suffering
and all your weeping be due to your sins?
Chorus
So just what are your conduct and heart like?
How much have you given up for God?
How deeply do you worship Him?
Don’t you know most clearly
your behavior towards Him?
You should know better than anyone
what end you will finally meet.

Is not your goodness or your own evil
the best judgment of you?
Is it not the best proof of
what your end will be?
