Heedless of Danger

lyricist: Hazel Dunn, 1916
Composer: Belle Speer

Heedless of dan­ger

dear ones are stray­ing

Far from the Mas­ter’s ten­der­est care.

Will you not send a mes­sage of warn­ing un­to each one?

Ruthless temp­ta­tion ev­er ob­ey­ing

Soon they will all be lost in des­pair;

Tarry not

Christ­ian

for ’tis a sac­red du­ty you shun.

Heedless of dan­ger

why will you wan­der

Nearer and near­er

ap­proach­ing the brink?

Heedless of dan­ger

why will you wan­der

Into the dark­ness where soon you must sink?

Heedless of dan­ger

wan­der no long­er

Come to the on­ly re­fuge se­cure;

Truly re­pent

be­liev­ing His won­drous pow­er to save.

Looking to Christ

your faith will grow strong­er

Ready for Him all things to e­ndure

Bearing aloft His ban­ner among the true and the brave.

Heedless of dan­ger

safe­ly re­fus­ing

When it is free for all to at­tain;

Waken

O sin­ner

sure­ly your soul is pre­cious to you!

Needlessly wait­ing

time you are los­ing

Nothing by long de­lay will you gain.

When you shall hear the sum­mons of death

oh!

What will you do?
