Text:Harvest—or, the accepted Time and Day of Salvation

DV. Harvest—or, the accepted Time and Day of Salvation

1 See how the little toiling ant
Improves the harvest hours:
While summer lasts, thro' all her cells
The choicest stores she pours.

2 While life remains, our harvest lasts;
But youth of life's the prime;
Best is this season for our work,
And this th' accepted time.

3 To-day attend, is wisdom's voice,
To-morrow, folly cries:
And still to morrow 'tis, when, Oh!
To-day the sinner dies.

4 When conscience speaks, its voice regard,
And seize the tender hour;
Humbly implore the promis'd grace,
And God will give the power.
