The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 ‎#30

30. Choose Ye

1 Sojourner, here upon life’s pilgrim way,
Hark! at the door of thy heart
Christ and the world are both knocking today,
Which shall be bidden depart?

Refrain:
Which, O which shall it be?
Choose ye, O choose ye;
Now for time and eternity,
God of Mammon, which shall it be?
Choose ye, O choose ye,
Whom will ye serve? O choose ye.

2 Vain are the treasures the world offers now,
Glittering baubles and toys;
Perfect salvation the Lord would bestow,
Heaven and unending joys. [Refrain]

3 One ye would love and the other despise,
If both admittance should gain;
Choose ye today, and in choosing be wise,
Let not your Lord plead in vain. [Refrain]

4 For or against him, how is it today?
No neutral ground can there be;
Do you receive him or turn him away?
Answer this question for me. [Refrain]
