If Tonight Should End the World

In God’s Word it is re­cord­ed

That this world will not en­dure;

Then while time is yet af­ford­ed

Make your hope of Heav­en sure;

For the stars

be­fore the morn­ing

From their or­bits may be hurled

And the moon may send a warn­ing

That to­night will end the world.

If to­night should end the world

If to­night should end the world

Would your soul adrift be driv­en?

Or would you set sail for Heav­en

If to­night should end the world?

O’er this quest­ion do you pon­der

As the days pass swift­ly by?

Have you gained an in­ter­est yon­der

Where the soul will nev­er die?

If the last trump should be sound­ed

And the blood stained ban­ner furled

Would it bring you grief un­bound­ed

If to­night should end the world?

See the hands once torn and bleed­ing

On the cross of Cal­va­ry

Reaching out with gen­tle plead­ing;

Oh

poor sin­ner

’tis for thee;

Come

ac­cept this great sal­va­tion

Ere to judg­ment you are hurled;

Slight you not this in­vi­ta­tion

For to­night may end the world.
