Lyics

NOW is the day of grace;

Now to the Saviour come;

The Lord is calling, "Seek My face,

And I will guide you home."



The Father bids you speed;

O wherefore then delay?

He calls in love; He sees your need;

He bids you come to-day.



To-day the prize is won;

The promise is to save;

Then, O, be wise; to-morrow's sun

May shine upon your grave.
