Death's a Warning

Verse 1

Vain man thy fond pursuits forbear; Repent, thine end is nigh; Death at the farthest, can't be far; O think before thou die.

Chorus

We are passing away, We are passing away, We are passing away, To the great judgment day.

Verse 2

Reflect, thou hast a soul to save; Thy sins, how high they mount! What are thy hopes beyond thy grave? How stands that dark account?

Verse 3

Death enters, and there's no defense, His time there's none can tell; He'll in a moment call thee hence, To heaven or down to hell.

Verse 4

Thy flesh (perhaps thy greatest care) Shall into dust consume; But, ah! Destruction ends not there, Sin kills beyond the tomb.
