- 1Now is the accepted time,
- Now is the day of grace;
- O sinners! come, without delay,
- And seek the Saviour's face.
- 2Now is the accepted time,
- The Saviour calls to-day;
- To-morrow it may be too late;
- Then why should you delay?
- 3Now is the accepted time,
- The gospel bids you come;
- And every promise in his word
- Declares there yet is room.
- 4Lord, draw reluctant souls,
- And feast them with thy love;
- Then will the angels spread their wings,
- And bear the news above.
