The Risk Is Too Great

Don’t try to suc­ceed

Without Christ as your friend

Because if you do

you will fail in the end;

Don’t put off sal­va­tion un­til ’tis too late

Don’t live with­out Je­sus

the risk is too great.

The risk is too great

the risk is too great

Each day you are fac­ing a ter­ri­ble fate;

Be saved ere too late

face Heav­en’s bright gate

Don’t live with­out Je­sus: The risk is too great.

Don’t try to go on

Without Christ as your guide

Lest foes ov­er­take you and ev­ils be­tide;

He knows the right way un­to Heav­en’s fair gate

Don’t walk with­out Je­sus

the risk is too great.

Don’t trust to your good­ness

To save you at last

For on­ly the Sav­ior can blot out your past;

So trust Him com­plete­ly to­day

do not wait

Don’t live with­out Je­sus

the risk is too great.
