A blessing for you-will you take it?
Choose ye today;
A word from the heart-will you speak it?
Choose ye today:
Will you believe, or your Savior neglect?
Will you receive, or His mercy reject?
Pause, ere you answer, oh, pause and reflect-
Choose ye today.
A death to be feared-will you fear it?
Choose ye today;
A voice that invites-will you hear it?
Choose ye today.
Straight is the portal and narrow the way;
Enter, poor soul, and be saved while you may;
Think what may hang on a moment's delay-
Choose ye today.
The cross of your Lord-will you bear it?
Choose ye today:
There's life in that cross-will you share it?
Choose ye today:
Soon will your time of probation be o'er,
Then will the Spirit entreat you no more,
Jesus no longer will stand at the door-
Choose ye today.
The bondage of sin-will you break it?
Choose ye today:
The water of life-will you take it?
Choose ye today.
Come to the arms that are open for you,
Hide in the wounds that by faith you may view;
Death ere the morrow your steps may pursue-
Choose ye today.
