  1. 1Careless soul, why will you linger,Wand'ring from the fold of God?Hear you not the invitation?O prepare to meet thy God.Careless soul,(O careless soul,)O heed the warning,(heed the warning,)For your life(will soon be gone,) will soon be gone;(O yes your life will soon be gone;)
  2. 2O how sad(to face the judgment) to face the judgment,(O how sad to face the judgment,)Unprepared to meet thy God.(Unprepared to meet thy God.)Careless soul,(O careless soul,)O heed the warning,(heed the warning,)For your life(will soon be gone,) will soon be gone;(O yes your life will soon be gone;)
  3. 3Why so tho'tless are you standingWhile the fleeting years go by,And your life is spent in folly?O prepare to meet thy God.Careless soul,(O careless soul,)O heed the warning,(heed the warning,)For your life(will soon be gone,) will soon be gone;(O yes your life will soon be gone;)
  4. 4If you spurn the invitationTill the Spirit shall depart,Then you'll see your sad condition,Unprepared to meet thy God.Careless soul,(O careless soul,)O heed the warning,(heed the warning,)For your life(will soon be gone,) will soon be gone;(O yes your life will soon be gone;)
