Author: Rachel Rivers Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #64 (1913) First Line: Why leave until tomorrow Refrain First Line: Our promised time is now Lyrics: 1 Why leave until tomorrow
The work that calls today,
When life is but a shadow
That soon will pass away?
Chorus:
Our promised time is now;
Today our Lord commands
to labor in His vineyard,
To labor in His vineyard,
To labor in His vineyard
With ready, willing hands.
2 Why waste the precious moments
That, lost, will ne'er return?
Thy boast we of tomorrow?
Our lamp may cease to burn. [Chorus]
3 Today our path of duty
Is clearly, plainly shone
The future, in God's keeping,
To us cannot be known. [Chorus]
4 Today be up and doing;
Today our skies are bright;
Go rescue those that perish,
And work with all our might. [Chorus]
