Oh
come to the Lord today
Come
sinner
without delay;
Oh
give Him your heart
I pray
Why carelessly wait?
Soon you will be called to die
Poor soul
to the Savior fly;
You know that the end is nigh
Why carelessly wait?
Why carelessly wait?
Why carelessly wait?
You know that the end is nigh
Why carelessly wait?
Since there is no hope at last
The day of God’s grace then past
With mercy’s door closed and fast
Why carelessly wait?
When there at the judgment throne
Your sins will be all made known
There Satan will claim his own
Why carelessly wait?
O soul
do not idly stand
Unheeding the Lord’s command;
You’ll perish in sinking sand
Why carelessly wait?
Your pulse will ere long be still
In death will your blood soon chill;
Oh
hasten
obey God’s will
Why carelessly wait?
Soon
soon in eternity
Poor sinner
your soul shall be
What then can atone for thee?
Why carelessly wait?
You’ll stand at the judgment seat
Your record of sins you’ll meet;
Come bowing at Jesus’ feet
Why carelessly wait?
