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
