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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
