1 List to the voice that is calling today,
O yield to its pleadings, no longer delay;
Reject not, as oft thou hast done in the past,
"Some other time" choosing, for time may not last.

Chorus:
"Some other time" for thee may not come;
"Some other time" may be sealed to thy doom;
Come and accept of this offer so free,
Now is the day of salvation for thee.

2 "Some other time" has swept millions away;
Beyond harbor lights it is sailing each day,
And rocks that are hidden by storm-clouds so dark
Are strewn with the lost from this treacherous bark. [Chorus]

3 Seek not the way of earth's pleasures to tread,
Or say thou wilt pause in the journey ahead,
And "some time" accept what God now would bestow;
Thy number of years, or of days, who can know? [Chorus]

4 Time's closing shadows soon o'er thee may fall;
O then for his mercy in vain you may call;
The Spirit long griev'd shall then leave thee alone;
Then make now thy choice while today is thine own. [Chorus]
