| Text: | O Prepare to Meet Thy God |
| Author: | R. E. W. |
| Tune: | [Sinner, turn, why will you linger] |
| Composer: | R. E. Winsett |
1 Sinner, turn, why will you linger,
Come beneath the chast’ning rod,
Come to Jesus, He will save you,
Oh, prepare to meet thy God.
Refrain:
Sinner, come and seek salvation!
In sin’s path too long you’ve trod,
You’ll be free from condemnation,
Oh, prepare to meet thy God!
2 Why so heedless are you waiting?
Soon you’ll go beneath the sod,
Soon you’ll pass to final judgment,
Oh, prepare to meet thy God. [Refrain]
3 Hear the Spirit’s voice now pleading,
Be ye reconciled to God,
Or you’ll have an awful ending,
Unprepared to meet thy God. [Refrain]
4 Should the Spirit cease its warning,
When sins path so long you’ve trod,
What a sad, eternal judgment,
Unprepared to meet thy God. [Refrain]
