1322. O Christian! have you heard it?

1 O Christian! have you heard it?
He's coming soon;
Though thousands have deferred it,
He's coming soon.
Let not thy heart grow weary,
He's coming soon;
Morn follows midnight dreary,
He's coming soon.
Leave all earth's sinful pleasures,
He's coming soon;
Lay up in heav'n your treasures,
He's coming soon.

2 Does now thy heart believe it?
He's coming soon;
Do you with joy receive it?
He's coming soon.
Prize not this world's possessions,
He's coming soon;
Trust not to vain professions,
He's coming soon.
Work on, with zeal increasing,
He's coming soon;
Pray always, without ceasing,
He's coming soon.

3 O day of joy and gladness!
He's coming soon;
O day of gloom and sadness!
He's coming soon.
It may be night or morning,
He's coming soon;
Do not reject the warning,
He's coming soon.
Are you prepared to meet him?
He's coming soon;
Can you look up and greet him?
He's coming soon.
