"The Pale Horse And His Rider" lyrics

The Pale Horse And His Rider

Oh, listen poor sinner
You're drifting away
From the dear Saviour
Who's pleading today
What will you do
When the Saviour ain't nigh
When the pale horse
And his rider goes by?

The time now ain't long
When the Saviour will come
And then you'll be judged
By the deeds you have done
On that Judgement Day
You'll weep and you'll cry
When the pale horse
And his rider goes by

When that trumpet sounds
On the sinners below
Not even the angels
In heaven will know
It's then that you'll wish
You had Jesus nigh
When the pale horse
And his rider goes by

Oh, won't you redeem
Your poor wicked soul
You can't pay your way
With silver and gold
If you're not saved
You'll be lost in the night
When the pale horse
And his rider goes by
