Too late, ’twill be, for you to cry,
When mer­cy’s day has passed you by!
When so­lemn night, or dark de­spair,
Shall come up­on you hal­ting there!

Refrain

Too late, too late, poor trem­bling soul!
O will this be…your fate?
Too late, too late to be made whole!
Too late, too late, too late!

Too late, when death has barred the door,
Your wail­ing can be heard no more!
Rejected, there, thy soul will be—
Shut out, thro’ all eter­ni­ty!

Refrain

Will you not heed the voice to­day,
Inviting you Christ to ob­ey?
And be pre­pared to en­ter there,
A pure and spot­less robe to wear?

Refrain

No long­er, there in sin ab­ide!
This all im­port­ant step de­cide!
Come out, where Christ can touch thy soul,
And at this mo­ment be made whole.

Refrain
