Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #182 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Behold, now is the accepted Time Lyrics: 1 Now is th’accepted time,
Now is the day of grace;
Now, sinners, come without delay,
And seek the Saviour’s face.
2 Now is th’accepted time,
The Saviour calls to-day;
To-morrow it may be too late,
Then why should you delay?
3. Now is th’accepted time,
The gospel bids you come;
And ev'ry promise in his word,
Declares there yet is room.
4 Lord, draw reluctant souls,
And feast them with thy love;
Then will the angels spread their wings
And bear the news above.
5 At length around thy throne
They shall thy face behold;
While thro' eternity they'll strive
Their raptures to unfold.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2
Now is th'accepted time
