Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS

If thou will harken unto his voice harden not your hearts. ” Ps.95:7

1.  Prepare O sinner to be wise
    Do not wait until tomorrow
    As long as you deride wisdom
    The more hidden wisdom will be

2. Get ready to ask for mercy
    Do not wait until tomorrow
    Before thy days on earth are o'er
    Before this world's sunset arrives.

3. Prepare, O sinner to return
    Do not wait until tomorrow
    So you do not become accurs'd
    Before tomorrow's day begins.

4. Prepare to receive a blessing
    Do not wait until tomorrow
    So that your lamp does not burn out
    Before you begin a new life.

5. Lord, make the sinner to repent
    Rouse him from his foolish slumber
    May he not kick against wisdom
    And he slack concerning his doom.

Amen.
