Author: J. H. S. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #746 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Timeless Truths First Line: Careless soul, why will you linger Refrain First Line: Careless soul, oh, heed the warning Lyrics: 1 Careless soul, why will you linger,
Wand’ring from the fold of God?
Hear you not the invitation?
Oh, prepare to meet thy God.
Refrain:
Careless soul, oh, heed the warning,
For your life will soon be gone;
Oh, how sad to face the judgment,
Unprepared to meet thy God.
2 Why so thoughtless are you standing,
While the fleeting years go by,
And your life is spent in folly?
Oh, prepare to meet thy God. [Refrain]
3 Hear you not the earnest pleadings
Of your friends that wish you well?
And perhaps before tomorrow
You’ll be called to meet your God. [Refrain]
4 If you spurn the invitation
Till the Spirit shall depart,
Then you’ll see your sad condition,
Unprepared to meet thy God. [Refrain] Topics: Warning Scripture: Amos 4:12 Tune Title: [Careless soul, why will you linger]
