Author: D. O. T. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #940 Meter: 11.9.11.9 with refrain Scripture: Luke 12:20 First Line: Soon time will be ended, eternity's near Refrain First Line: It is only a step to the grave Lyrics: 1 Soon time will be ended, eternity’s near,
It is only a step to the grave;
God’s warnings are sounding, oh, will you not hear?
It is only a step to the grave.
Refrain:
It is only a step to the grave,
It is only a step to the grave;
O sinner, awake, your soul is at stake,
And it’s only a step to the grave.
2 How near is your dying, O faltering man?
For there’s only a step to the grave;
Your life at the longest is only a span,
And there’s only a step to the grave. [Refrain]
3 Backslider in darkness, in sorrow and sin,
It is only a step to the grave;
The door may soon close that’s inviting you in,
For there’s only a step to the grave. [Refrain]
4 The end is soon coming, O sinner, beware,
For it’s only a step to the grave;
Repent, or you’ll miss that bright haven so fair,
For it’s only a step to the grave. [Refrain] Topics: Warning Tune Title: [Soon time will be ended, eternity's near]
