1.

Your path consider! Make sure your calling!
The days are evil; the end is near.
Behold how swiftly the night is falling.
There’s darkness all around us here.

Chorus:

Time soon is ending!
So start contending!
Rise up and battle ’gainst your sin!

2.

Through Satan’s cunning are souls defeated.
“Sin’s not so bad,” many people say;
“Look to the cross; that is all that’s needed,
And God will take your sin away.”

3.

So many think that they have God’s calling
To cross the globe, “serving” far and wide.
But grains of wheat that in earth are falling
Will bear much fruit if they have died.

4.

To exhortations, let’s each be heedful.
The Word of life will our hearts refresh.
God will uphold you with strength that’s needful
If you will suffer in the flesh.

Chorus:

Be sober, brother;
God is your Father—
His pathway follow faithfully.
