Put on the Brakes
Author: I. N. McHose Hymnal: Pearls of Praise #162 (1893) First Line: Put on the brakes, my brother Refrain First Line: Look, there’s a red light, brother Lyrics: 1 Put on the brakes, my brother,
Steep is the grade you’re on;
See how your speed’s increasing,
See how you’re whirled along!
’Tis on the downgrade, brother,
Danger is in your way;
On with the brakes, my brother,
Why will you still delay?
Look, there’s a red light, brother!
Telling of danger near;
Put on the brakes, my brother,
Stop in your mad career.
2 Put on the brakes, my brother,
Stop ere it be too late;
Fearful will end your journey,
If you will longer wait.
’Tis on the downtrain, brother,
Bearing you swiftly on;
To everlasting burning,
Whence there is no return;
Look, there’s a red light, brother!
Telling of danger near;
Put on the brakes, my brother,
Stop in your mad career.
3 Look! there’s a switch, my brother,
Ready to change your way;
If you will only signal,
Each order then obey.
Now give the signal, brother,
Switchmen will then obey;
Changing your course for another,
Leading to endless day.
Look, there’s a red light, brother!
Telling of danger near;
Put on the brakes, my brother,
Stop in your mad career.
4 Will you not change, my brother?
Will you not happy be?
Will you accept salvation,
Changing your destiny?
Make Jesus your conductor,
Leading thro’ Beulah Land;
Soon will he take you safely
Into the depot grand.
Now on the right track, brother,
Swiftly we glide along;
To yonder heav’nly country,
Singing a glad new song. Scripture: Acts 26:18 Tune Title: [Put on the brakes, my brother]

James E. Hawes
1862 - 1933 Person Name: J. E. Hawes Composer of "[Put on the brakes, my brother]" in Pearls of Praise James Edward Hawes was born in Vermillion County, IL, near Danville, on Aug. 18, 1862. While growing up, he was nicknamed “the preacher” because of his exceptional moral life. Evidently he became a well-known song leader among churches of Christ and Christian Churches in the latter part of the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, as well as a preacher. Hawes formed an evangelistic team about 1885, after the example of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey, with Jacob V. Updike (1850-1907). They met with great success before disbanding to become located ministers. According to The Christian Evangelist of Dec. 16, 1901, Hawes was located as minister with the Church of Christ in Greenwich, OH. Also, Hawes edited a hymnbook entitled The Gospel Invitation: Book of Songs and Hymns which was published in 1892 by Fillmore Brothers of Cincinnati, OH. He composed a 1900 tune for the hymn “Have You Not a Word for Jesus?” written in 1871 by Frances R. Havergal. While travelling to Columbus, OH, he died after being hit by a train near Upper Sandusky, in Wyandot County, OH, on Aug. 23, 1933, at the age of 71, and was buried at Ada in Hardin County, OH, where he had served as minister with the Church of Christ for over twenty years.
