Judgment day is coming,
Time is moving on!
Are you ready, brother?
Hasten thee along;
Angels stand in waiting,
With the seven seals:
Hark! I hear the rumbling
Of the chariot wheels.
Refrain
Chariot wheels are rumbling,
Sinner, don’t delay;
Soon, so soon is coming
To us judgment day;
Chariot wheels are rumbling,
Sinner, don’t delay;
Soon, so soon is coming
To us judgment day.
Chariot wheels are rumbling,
Time is almost gone;
Are you ready, waiting,
With a heav’nly song?
Lamps all trimmed and burning,
Pure and clear and bright?
Are you sure you’re ready
For the coming sight?
Refrain
God and all His angels,
Looking from the sky,
Knows us all and loves us,
Beckons us on high.
Oh! my erring brother,
Listen to the call,
Come with all your burdens,
There is room for all.
Refrain
