No time for salvation, I heard a man say

1 “No time for salvation,” I heard a many say,
“No time for my Savior who calls me today,
The world’s pressing business my hands must pursue,
No time for salvation, I have so much to do;”
But he found time to die,
Oh, yes! he found time to die.

2 “No time for salvation,” a young girl once said;
“No, give me the world and its pleasures instead;
With feasting and dancing my days I would fill,
My life’s just beginning there is time enough still;”
But she found time to die,
Oh, yes! she found time to die.

3 “No time for salvation!” Friend, will you not see
No time in the future is promised to thee?
We speak of tomorrow, yet no one can say,
“I’ll live on the morrow, we have only today;
And today we die,
Oh, yes! today we die.
