Heedless of dan­ger, dear ones are stray­ing,
Far from the Mas­ter’s ten­der­est care.
Will you not send a mes­sage of warn­ing un­to each one?
Ruthless temp­ta­tion ev­er ob­ey­ing,
Soon they will all be lost in des­pair;
Tarry not, Chris­tian, for ’tis a sac­red du­ty you shun.

Refrain

Heedless of dan­ger, why will you wan­der,
Nearer and near­er, ap­proach­ing the brink?
Heedless of dan­ger, why will you wan­der,
Into the dark­ness where soon you must sink?

Heedless of dan­ger, wan­der no long­er,
Come to the on­ly re­fuge se­cure;
Truly re­pent, be­liev­ing His won­drous pow­er to save.
Looking to Christ, your faith will grow strong­er,
Ready for Him all things to e­ndure,
Bearing aloft His ban­ner among the true and the brave.

Refrain

Heedless of dan­ger, safe­ly re­fus­ing,
When it is free for all to at­tain;
Waken, O sin­ner, sure­ly your soul is pre­cious to you!
Needlessly wait­ing, time you are los­ing,
Nothing by long de­lay will you gain.
When you shall hear the sum­mons of death, oh!
What will you do?
