Prepare to Meet Thy God

Heb 9:27
PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD-James H. Stanley
Prepare to Meet Thy God
(or Careless Soul, Why Will You Linger)
}
Careless soul, why will you linger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God?
Hear you not the invitation?
O prepare to meet thy God.
Why so thoughtless are you standing
While the fleeting years go by,
And your life is spent in folly?
O prepare to meet thy God.
Hear you not the earnest pleadings
Of your friends that wish thou well?
And perhaps before tomorrow
You'll be called to meet your God.
If you spurn the invitation
Till the Spirit shall depart,
Then you'll see your sad condition,
Unprepared to meet thy God.
Chorus Careless soul, O heed the warning,
For your life will soon be gone;
O how sad to face the judgment,
Unprepared to meet thy God.
