The Evergreen ‎#49

49. To-Morrow It May Be Too Late

1 Now is the time to seek the Lord!
Before this Sabbath's setting sun
Has sunk behind the western hills,
Thine earthly journey may be run.

Chorus:
Come now to Christ,
Come now, why will you longer wait?
Come now to Christ,
Tomorrow it may be too late!

2 Now is the time to seek the Lord!
Before night's sable curtains drop
Thy soul may leave the frame of clay,
The beatings of thy heart may stop. [Chorus]

3 Now is the time to seek the Lord!
While yet the Saviour strives within,
Oh, yield thy heart to his free grace,
And let him cleanse thee from thy sin — [Chorus]

4 Now is the time to seek the Lord!
Beyond the dark and narrow grave
No mercy lights the dismal gloom,
No Saviour there thy soul to save! — [Chorus]
