LyicsWHILE 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.
In that lone land of deep despair,
No Gospels heavenly light shall rise;
No God regard your bitter prayer,
No Saviour call you to the skies.
Now God invites-how blessed the day!
How sweet the gospel's charming sound!
Come, sinners, haste-oh, haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.
