Chorus: Now, just now is the time, Now, just now is the time; Now is the day of salvation, Come, come just now. 2 O come while He calls you, just as you are; While mercy is offered to all; Return, tho’ in sin you have wandered far; O hear, and attend to His call.

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance First Line: Not saved are we by trying Refrain First Line: It is not Try, but trust Lyrics: 1 Not saved are we by trying, From self can come no aid; 'Tis on the blood relying, Once for our ransom paid; 'Tis looking unto Jesus, The holy One and just; 'Tis His great work that saves us, It is not Try, but Trust. Chorus: It is not Try, but Trust, It is not Try, but Trust; 'Tis His great work that saves us; It is not Try, but Trust. 2 'Twas vain for Israel bitten By serpents on their way, To look to their own doing, That awful plague to stay; The remedy and healing, When humbled in the dust, Was of the Lord's revealing, It is not Try, but Trust. [Chorus] 3 No deeds of ours are needed To make Christ's merit more; No frames of mind, or feelings, Can add to His great store; 'Tis simply to receive Him, The holy One and just, 'Tis only to believe Him, It is not Try, but Trust.
