The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6862

6862. To Glory or to Gloom?

1. There’s a gentle voice that’s pleading with you, brother,
You have heard it at the morning, night and noon;
And it speaks to you today, as in paths of sin you stray;
Are you going on to glory or to gloom?

Refrain
Going on to glory or to gloom?
On to endless joy or endless doom?
Brother, hear the voice of God
As He speaks to you in love,
Are you going on to glory or to gloom?

2. ’Tis a question you must answer, O my brother,
For the judgment day is coming, sure and soon;
You are standing here today, at the parting of the way;
Are you going on to glory or to gloom? [Refrain]

3. You are choosing in this solemn hour, my brother,
And your choice may fix your soul’s eternal doom;
Jesus waits for you today, pointing t’ward the narrow way;
Are you going on to glory or to gloom? [Refrain]
