Ere the Sun Goes Down

1 You must have your sins forgiven,
Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,
If you wish to go to Heaven
When the sun, when the sun goes down.
O now to God be crying,
For your time is swiftly flying,
In the grave you’ll soon be lying
When the sun goes down!

Refrain:
Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,
Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,
O sinner, come to Jesus
Ere the sun goes down!

2 Every chance will soon be past,
When the sun, when the sun goes down;
Even this may be the last,
When the sun, when the sun goes down.
If this offer be rejected,
And salvation still neglected,
Death may come when least expected,
When the sun goes down.
