WHY CARELESSLY WAIT?Stanza 1

Since there is no hope at last,The day of God’s grace then past,With mercy’s door closed & fast,I pray, Why carelessly wait?When there at the judgment throne,Your sins will be all made known,There Satan will claim his own,Why carelessly wait?

O soul do not idly stand,Unheeding the Lord’s command,You’ll perish, in sinking sand,I pray, Why carelessly wait?Your pulse will ere long be still,In death will your blood soon chill,Oh, hasten obey God’s will,Why carelessly wait?

Soon, soon in eternity,

Poor sinner, your soul shall be,

What then can atone for thee?

I pray, Why carelessly wait?5


You’ll stand at the judgment seat

Your record of sins you’ll meet,

Come bowing at Jesus’ feet,

Why carelessly wait?6

WHY CARELESSLY WAIT?Stanza 4 Continues

Oh brother you’ve ought to rend,

Corrections you have to make,

A ‘sorry’ you have to say,

Why carelessly wait,In a moment the

trumpet will sound,Do you still want to be

on the groundDo fast that you have

to do,Why carelessly wait,
