Lyrics

On the re­sur­rec­tion morn­ing,
When you hear the trum­pet’s warn­ing;
Too late, ’twill be too late
To then turn and seek sal­va­tion,
But you’ll meet with con­dem­na­tion,
Too late, for­ev­er too late.

Refrain

Too late, too late.
You have missed your life eter­nal,
You have missed the joys su­per­nal.
Too late, for­ev­er too late.

Soon God’s so­lemn pro­cla­ma­tion
Will go forth to ev­ery na­tion;
Too late, ’twill be too late.
Then what weep­ing, wail­ing, sor­row,
For there’ll be no glad to­mor­row.
Too late, for­ev­er too late.

Refrain

You have shunned re­demp­tion’s sto­ry,
And have lost your home in glo­ry;
Too late, ’twill be too late,
For your doom is sealed for­ev­er;
From the good you then will se­ver,
Too late, for­ev­er too late.

Refrain

Let there be no he­si­ta­tion,
Turn to Je­sus, seek sal­va­tion;
Too late, ’twill be too late.
Then, be­fore the judg­ment morn­ing,
Will you heed this so­lem warn­ing?
Too late, for­ev­er too late.
