Be On Guard

J-udgment day comes like a thief, 
O-nly God knows when; 
Y-ou must be prepared, your mind must be open.

G-uard your heart from lies, 
A-sk God for the truth; 
L-et both your ears
L-isten while your mouth is mute.
E-agerly run so fast, 
T-o speedily move forward; 
O-n the eighth of June, you must be on guard.
