Now is the accepted time,
Now is the day of grace;
Now sinners! come without delay,
And seek the Saviour’s face.
Now is the accepted time,
The Saviour calls today;
Pardon and peace He freely gives,
Then why should you delay?
Now is the accepted time,
The Gospel bids you come;
And every promise in His Word,
Declares there yet is room.
Lord, draw reluctant souls,
And feast them with Thy love;
Then will the angels spread their wings
And bear the news above.
At length around thy throne
They shall thy face behold;
While through eternity they'll strive
Their raptures to unfold.
---Alternative verses---
Now is the accepted time,
The Saviour calls today;
To-morrow it may be too late,
Then why should you delay?
Lord, draw reluctant souls,
And feast them with Thy love;
Then will the angels swiftly fly
To bear the news above.
