Tune:[If today should be your last day]
Composer:Thos. S. Cobb

163. Warning

1 If today should be your last day,
And it may be so;
Would you still prefer the dark way,
Filled with sin and woe?

Refrain:
Oh, prepare, this message warns you,
do not longer wait,
Death may claim you any moment,
Then 'twill be too late.

2 It may be your very last day,
Leave the dang'rous sand,
Lest you sink beyond redemption,
Lost from glory land. [Refrain]

3 Ev'ry day is some ones last day,
Come His call embrace,--
For there'll come a day of judgment,
One and all must face. [Refrain]
