Too Late
Author: R. E. W. Hymnal: Soul Inspiring Songs #16 (1929) First Line: On the resurrection morning Lyrics: 1 On the resurrection morning,
When you hear the trumpet’s warning;
Too late, ‘twill be too late.
To then turn and seek salvation,
But you’ll meet with condemnation,
Too late, forever too late.
Refrain:
Too late,
Too late.
You have missed your life eternal,
You have missed the joys supernal.
Too late, forever too late.
2 Soon God’s solemn proclamation,
Will go forth to every nation;
Too late, ‘twill be too late.
Then what weeping, wailing, sorrow,
For there’ll be no glad tomorrow,
Too late, forever too late. [Refrain]
3 You have shunned redemption’s story,
And have lost your home in glory;
Too late, ‘twill be too late.
For your doom is sealed forever,
From the good you then will sever,
Too late, forever too late. [Refrain]
4 Let there be no hesitation,
Turn to Jesus, seek salvation;
Too late, ‘twill be too late.
Then before the judgement morning,
Will you heed this solemn warning,
Too late, forever too late. [Refrain Languages: English Tune Title: [On the resurrection morning]

Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame.
