Prepare to Meet Thy God

James H. Stanley • English

Primary Scripture: Amos 4:12

Verse 1

Careless soul, why will you linger, Wand’ring from the fold of God? Hear you not the invitation? O prepare 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.

Verse 2

Why so tho'tless are you standing While the fleeting years go by, And your life is spent in folly? O prepare 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.

Verse 3

Hear you not the earnest pleadings Of your friends that wish you well? And perhaps before tomorrow You’ll be called to meet your 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.

Verse 4

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.
