The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#127b

127b. Now is th' accepted time

1 Now is th' accepted time,
Now is the day of grace;
Now, sinners, without delay,
And seek the Saviour's face.

2 Now is the accepted time,
The Saviour calls to-day;
To-morrow it may be too late,
Then why should you delay?

3 Now is the accepted time,
The gospel bids you come;
And every promise in his word
Declares there yet is room.

4 Lord, draw reluctant souls,
And feast them with thy love;
Then will the angels swiftly fly,
To bear the news above.
