Tune Information

• Name: JUST NOW
• Key: F Major or modal
• Source: From "Praises of Jesus"
• Notes: This tune, as it now stands, was first sung, I think, in Scotland, where hundreds were asking "What shall we do to be saved?" Those who have never heard it under such circumstances, cannot judge of its persuasive power to lead trembling sinners to the cross. The verses, of which we have given the first lines, can easily be filled out. Thousands will remember this hymn to all eternity, as having been used by God to lead them to Jesus. It has often, also, impressed upon the careless the solemn declaration of God's word, "Behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation." 1 Cor. vi. 2.
