God's Time Now

Verse 1

Choose I must, and soon must choose Holiness, or heaven lose; While what heaven loves I hate, Shut for me in heaven’s gate.

Verse 2

Endless sin means endless woe; Into endless sin I go, If my soul, from reason rent, Takes from sin its final bent.

Verse 3

As the stream its channel grooves, And within that channel moves, So doth habit’s deepest tide Groove its bed, and there abide.

Verse 4

Light obeyed increaseth light, Light resisted bringeth night; Who shall give me will to choose, If the love of light I lose?

Verse 5

Speed, my soul; this instant yield; Let the Light its sceptre wield; While thy God prolongeth grace, Hate thee toward His holy face.
