1 Are you weary, heavy laden, as you wander on in sin?
Come to Jesus, at his footstool humbly bow;
He will speak your sins forgiven, he will give you peace within,
You may have the blessing now.
Refrain:
Hear the message that we bring, hallelujah!
You may have the blessing now;
O repent and turn to God
Yield to him and trust the blood,
You may have the blessing now.
2 Are you longing that the Lord might work in you a double cure,
Set the seal of perfect love upon your brow?
He is able, he is willing, he will cleanse and make you pure,
You may have the blessing now. [Refrain]
3 Hear the blessed Spirit calling, “now is the accepted time;”
For a more convenient season waitest thou?
Full salvation is the pearl of greatest price, O make it thine!
You may have the blessing now. [Refrain]
4 Many millions in all ages have to him their guilt confess’d,
Just as sinful and unworthy they as thou;
He bestow’d the kiss of pardon and with full salvation bless’d,
You may have the blessing now. [Refrain]

Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sister and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by."
