God's time may not be thine When thou art willing | D |
His Spirit may have taken flight forever | C |
No more thy soul with keen conviction filling | D |
Softening thy spirit to repentance never | C |

Now Christian now | B |
Look round and see what souls are daily dying | D |
List everywhere the voice of human crying | D |
Smiteth the ear the moan the plaint the sighing | D |
Come even now | B |
Rise gird thyself go forth where sorrow weepeth | E |
And ease the pang Where sin holds guilty revel | F |
Go tell of God Where man securely sleepeth | E |
On ruin's verge go warn him of the evil | F |

Now sinner now | B |
Day waneth fast The noon is spent To morrow | G |
Is God's not thine and dost thou hope to borrow | G |
An hour from doom when bursts the cloud of sorrow | G |
That darkens now | B |
Nay the red bolt e'en now vindictive flashes | H |
The thunder rolls nearer and still more near | I |
Hourly the tide of wrath more sternly dashes | H |
On ruin's rocks oh that thou wouldst but | J |
Now sinner now | B |

Now Christian now | B |
Gather thy sheaves the harvest time is hasting | D |
Gather thy sheaves the precious grain is wasting | D |
Too many hours Earth's cup of nectar tasting | D |
Thou'st wasted now | B |
Up up the Master's coining steps already | K |
Echoing adown the steeps of heaven are heard | L |
The angel reapers with firm hand and steady | K |
Stand dim descried waiting the signal word | L |
Now Christian now | B |
