Hymns, Selected and Original ‎#182

182. Now is th'accepted time

1 Now is th’accepted time,
Now is the day of grace;
Now, sinners, come without delay,
And seek the Saviour’s face.

2 Now is th’accepted time,
The Saviour calls to-day;
To-morrow it may be too late,
Then why should you delay?

3. Now is th’accepted time,
The gospel bids you come;
And ev'ry promise in his word,
Declares there yet is room.

4 Lord, draw reluctant souls,
And feast them with thy love;
Then will the angels spread their wings
And bear the news above.

5 At length around thy throne
They shall thy face behold;
While thro' eternity they'll strive
Their raptures to unfold.
