Let it be now! The choice is before us

Author: Stanley J. Henry Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let it be now! The choice is before us; Come, while the Saviour so tenderly yearns; Let it be now, Heav’n’s joy-bells in chorus Ring out the tidings—a lost one returns! Refrain: Let it be now, O let it be now! 2 Let it be now, if life is beginning, Now on the threshold of days yet to be; Losing your life, a new one you’re winning, A life that will last thro’ eternity. [Refrain] 3 Let it be now, tho’ years have been squandered, Living for this world in pleasure or sin; Pardon He will, tho’ far you have wandered, Grant you His Spirit—a new life within. [Refrain] 4 Let it be now, tho’ life is declining, Feebler the step, and fast failing the sight; Why should you linger, hopeless, repining? Trust Him, He’ll grant you at eventide light. [Refrain] 5 Let it be now! Come, helpless, believing, Pleading His merits, in lowliness bow; Pardon and cleansing, new life receiving, O let it be now! Yes, let it be now. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Let it be now! The choice is before us]

I cannot see, with my small human sight

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I cannot see, with my small human sight, Why God should lead this way or that for me; I only know He saith, “Child, follow me”; But I can trust, But I can trust! 2 I know not why my path should be at times So straitly hedged, so strangely barred before; I only know God could keep wide the door, And I can trust, And I can trust! 3 I often wonder, as with trembling hand I cast the seed along the furrowed ground, If ripened fruit for God will there be found; But I can trust, But I can trust! 4 I cannot know why suddenly the storm Should rage so fiercely ‘round me in its wrath; But this I know, God watches all my path, And I can trust, And I can trust! 5 I may not draw aside the mystic veil That hides the unknown future from my sight; Nor know if for me waits the dark or light; But I can trust, But I can trust!
