Prepare to meet thy God, Ere judgment He doth send

Published in 3 hymnals


Representative Text

1 Prepare to meet thy God,
Ere judgment He doth send;
Eternity is drawing near,
The day of grace will end.

Chorus:
Prepare to meet thy God,
Prepare to meet thy God,
The day of grace will soon be gone,
Prepare to meet thy God.

2 Prepare to meet thy God,
He soon may summon thee
To come before His judgment seat;
What will thy answer be? [Chorus]

3 Prepare to meet thy God,
Ere death may call for thee;
Prepare, my brother, ere you're lost,
Thro' all eternity. [Chorus]

4 Prepare to meet thy God,
While mercy yet is near;
For pardon, look unto the blood,
This warning voice now hear. [Chorus]
