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

Careless soul why will you linger

Wandering from the fold of God

And your life is spent in folly

O prepare to meet thy God

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

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

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
