The New Praiseworthy ‎#155

155. Too Soon, Too Late

1 Too soon for work to cease,
Too soon to long for peace,
Too soon, too soon!
Too late to do some deed,
Too late to fill some need,
Too late, too late!

Chorus:
Not yet too late to pray,
God's love to us would say,
Not yet to lat to pray.

2 Too soon to choose God's side,
Too soon to part with pride,
Too soon, too soon!
Too late to speak the truth,
Too late to atone for youth,
Too late, too late! [Chorus]

3 Too soon that mercy's door
Close fast, forevermore,
Too soon, too soon!
Too late, for all but this,
God's peaceful way to bliss,
Not yet, too late! [Chorus]
