There’s A Fact No Mortal Ever Can Deny,
There’s A Crisis We Must Surely, Surely Meet;
All That Live Upon This Earth Must Shortly Die,
And Must Answer At The Great Final Judgment.

O God, I Wake To Sober Thought,
And Face Eternity;
By Sin I’m Lost, By Jesus Bought;
So, Lord, I Come To Thee.

Have I Slept While Golden Moments Passed Away,
Slept In Darkness And Exposed To Endless Woe?
Gracious Lord, I Rise, And Turn From Sin Today,
Seeking Pardon Through Thy Long-Slighted Mercy.

Now My Reason Wakes, My Life Appears A Dream;
Lord, I See My Danger, Oh, The Horrid Spell!
To My Guilt I Wake And Stand Amazed Between
Awful Fears Of Hell And Hope’s Lingering Twilight.

Now, In Dark Review, I Trace My Squandered Years,
Hope Expires Within As Sinful Life Appears;
Yet, Thy Face I See Through All My Bitter Tears
Blessed Jesus, Thou Dost Offer Thy Mercy.
