52. Haste and seek your soul’s salvation

1 Haste and seek your soul’s salvation; Heed the word of God today! Haste to flee His condemnation; Seek the straight and narrow way. Evil are the worldly pleasures, Leading to eternal fire; Seek the everlasting treasure, Ere the day of grace expire. 2 Turn your face, take timely warning, To Him who alone can save! Now His loving face is shining; Soon comes judgment and the grave. Still He offers you salvation But the time of grace is short. Will you heed the invitation? Come, and harden not your heart. 3 Do not put off till tomorrow Your repentance; come today! For to wait will bring you sorrow; Only grief comes from delay. At the feet of Jesus bowing Make confession of your sins; While your tears of grief are flowing, Let the loving Saviour in. 4 Haste, while yet His grace is offered; Waste no time in worldly thought; Now begin your pilgrim journey, Cleansed from ev’ry stain and spot. You will find by faith, revealing Full redemption in His blood; For each sinner there is healing, Baptized in this cleansing flood. 5 Having clothed yourself with Jesus And your faith has made you whole, Do not fear the tribulations That assail and try your soul: For the enemy oppresses All who would the world forsake, Seeking that he might compel them On themselves his yoke to take. 6 Heavenward, then take your journey; Let your course in faith be trod; Face the crafty adversary Boldly as a man of God. Go with courage to the conflict As the sanctified to be; And retaining still your treasure, Win a crown of victory.
