THE PALE HORSE AND HIS RIDER
Words and music by Johnny Bailes, Ervin Staggs, Zeke Clements and Kitty Wells

Listen, poor sinner: you're driftin' 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 go by?

The time now ain't long when the Saviour will come.
Then you'll be judged by the deeds you have done.
On that judgment day, you'll weep and you'll cry
When the pale horse and his rider go by.

When that trumpet sounds on the sinners below,
Not even the angels in heaven will know.
Then's when you'll wish you had Jesus nigh,
When the pale horse and his rider go by.

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 go by.
