O the Word of God Do Not E'er Neglect

A translation to English to fit the music of this Russian Hymn, «О Божьих слов не пропускай»

1. O the Word of God do not e'er neglect,
Nor from your eyes its light be waved;
In your heart let hardness ne'er collect —
O hear His voice come now be saved!


   Chorus —
      The day tomorrow may never shine,
      The chords of death your soul entwine;
      Be wise consider then your grave —
      O hear His voice come now be saved!


2. Think on this: the world cannot e'er reward,
Its treasures poison and enslave.
Turn to Christ, let His Life be your store —
O hear His voice come now be saved!

   Chorus —

3. O our Lord will never once expel
The humbled soul to whom He gave
Mercy Love, and Grace; now with them He dwells —
O hear His voice come now be saved!

   Chorus —
