1 If the end of the world were today,
And the great God His wrath would not stay,
Would you feel yourself prepared
For the coming of the Lord,
If the end of the world were today?

Refrain:
If the end were today,
Would it be for you a glad, happy day?
Would you hurry forth to meet Him,
Would your soul with rapture greet Him,
If the end of the world were today?

2 If the end of the world were today,
From His face would you then hide away?
To the rocks and mountains flee,
Would you dread eternity,
If the end of the world were today? [Refrain]

3 If the end of the world were today,
And the Savior should call you away;
Would you be among the few,
Robed and ready, tried and true,
If the end of the world were today? [Refrain]
