11380. Whither Will You Wander?

1 Sinners, whither will you wander?
Whither will you stray?
O remember life is slender,
’Tis but a short day.

Refrain:
Death is coming, coming, coming,
And the judgment day;
Hasten, sinner, hasten, sinner,
Seek the narrow way.

2 Satan has resolved to have you
For his lawful prey;
Jesus Christ has died to save you,
Haste, O haste away. [Refrain]

3 Listen to the invitation,
Whilst He’s crying, "Come!"
If you miss the great salvation,
Hell will be your doom. [Refrain]

4 Would you ’scape the awful sentence?
From destruction flee.
Seek the Lord by true repentance,
Haste to Calvary. [Refrain]
