Now Is the Day of Salvation

Verse 1

Tomorrow, Lord, is Thine, Lodged in Thy sovereign hand; And if its sun arise and shine, It shines by Thy command.

Verse 2

The present moment flies, And bears our life away; O make Thy servants truly wise, That they may live to-day.

Verse 3

Since on this wingèd hour Eternity is hung, Waken, by Thine almighty power, The aged and the young.

Verse 4

One thing demands our care, O be it still pursued; Lest, slighted once, the season fair Should never be renewed.

Verse 5

To Jesus may we fly Swift as the morning light, Lest life's young golden beams should die In sudden, endless night. Amen.
