Hasten Today

Daniel Otis Teasley • English

Primary Scripture: Mark 16:15

Verse 1

There’s a heaven to gain, There is torment to shun, There are dangers in life to be braved; There’s a foe to be fought, And a prize to be won, There are souls to be lost or be saved.

Chorus

Hasten today, Will you longer delay, While the Master, so loving and true, Is bidding you go, And someone in woe Is longing and waiting for you?

Verse 2

Go and labor today, And no longer refuse; Hear the call from the lips of your Lord; Brother, sister, awake! There is no time to lose, For the millions now wait for His word.

Chorus

Hasten today, Will you longer delay, While the Master, so loving and true, Is bidding you go, And someone in woe Is longing and waiting for you?

Verse 3

Brother, hasten today, There is room for us all, There is somewhere a soul you can win; Will you longer delay? Hear the pitiful call Of the souls that are fettered in sin.

Chorus

Hasten today, Will you longer delay, While the Master, so loving and true, Is bidding you go, And someone in woe Is longing and waiting for you?
