Representative Text

1 O do not let the word depart,
And turn salvation's light away;
O sinner, harden not thy heart,
Now is thy time; be saved oh, today!

2 Tomorrow it may be too late,
This moment is the time to pray,
Believe just now and change thy state,
Now is thy time; be saved oh, today!

3 No more let sin deceive thy mind,
This is the only pleasant way,
O then in Christ redemption find,
Now is thy time; be saved oh, today!

4 The Lord for thee has waited long
That thou mightest yet His word obey,
No longer do thy Lord such wrong:
Now is thy time; be saved oh, today!

5 Remember all thy vows with tears;
Just now begin them all to pay;
O cast away thy doubts and fears,
Now is thy time; be saved oh, today!
