LyicsWHILE life prolongs its precious light,
Mercy is found, and peace is giv'n;
But soon, ah! soon, approaching night
Shall blot out every hope of heav'n.
While God invites, how blest the day!
How sweet the gospel's charming sound!
Come, sinners, haste, O haste away,
While yet a pard'ning 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, O haste away,
While yet a pard'ning God is found.
