Now is the accepted timeA

-
Now sinner nowB
Not in the future when thy longed for measureC
Thou hast attained of fame or power or pleasureC
When thy full coffers swell with hoarded treasureC
Not then but nowB
God's time may not be thine When thou art willingD
His Spirit may have taken flight foreverC
No more thy soul with keen conviction fillingD
Softening thy spirit to repentance neverC
Now sinner nowB
-
Now Christian nowB
Look round and see what souls are daily dyingD
List everywhere the voice of human cryingD
Smiteth the ear the moan the plaint the sighingD
Come even nowB
Rise gird thyself go forth where sorrow weepethE
And ease the pang Where sin holds guilty revelF
Go tell of God Where man securely sleepethE
On ruin's verge go warn him of the evilF
Now Christian nowB
-
Now sinner nowB
Day waneth fast The noon is spent To morrowG
Is God's not thine and dost thou hope to borrowG
An hour from doom when bursts the cloud of sorrowG
That darkens nowB
Nay the red bolt e'en now vindictive flashesH
The thunder rolls nearer and still more nearI
Hourly the tide of wrath more sternly dashesH
On ruin's rocks oh that thou wouldst butJ
Now sinner nowB
-
Now Christian nowB
Gather thy sheaves the harvest time is hastingD
Gather thy sheaves the precious grain is wastingD
Too many hours Earth's cup of nectar tastingD
Thou'st wasted nowB
Up up the Master's coining steps alreadyK
Echoing adown the steeps of heaven are heardL
The angel reapers with firm hand and steadyK
Stand dim descried waiting the signal wordL
Now Christian nowB
