Lyics

While life prolongs its precious light
Mercy is found - and peace is given;
But soon - ah soon! Approaching night
Shall blot out every hope of heaven.


While God invites - how blest the day,
How sweet the gospel's charming sound!
Come, sinners, haste - oh haste away
While yet a pardoning God is found.


Soon, borne on time's most rapid wing,
Shall death command you to the grave;
Before his bar your spirits bring
And none be found to hear or save.


Now God invites - how blest the day!
How sweet the gospel's charming sound!
Come, sinners, haste - oh, haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.
