Prepare to Meet Thy God

Careless soul, why will you linger,

Wand'ring from the fold of God?

Hear you not the invitation?

O prepare to meet thy God.

Careless soul, O heed the warning,

For your life will soon be gone;

O how sad to face the judgment,

Unprepared to meet thy God.

Why so thoughtless are you standing,

While the fleeting years go by,

And your life is spent in folly?

O prepare to meet thy God.

Careless soul, O heed the warning,

For your life will soon be gone;

O how sad to face the judgment,

Unprepared to meet thy God.

Hear you not the earnest pleadings,

Of your friends that wish thou well?

And perhaps before tomorrow,

You'll be called to meet your God.

Careless soul, O heed the warning,

For your life will soon be gone;

O how sad to face the judgment,

Unprepared to meet thy God.

If you spurn the invitation,

Till the Spirit shall depart,

Then you'll see your sad condition,

Unprepared to meet thy God.

Careless soul, O heed the warning,

For your life will soon be gone;

O how sad to face the judgment,

Unprepared to meet thy God.
