1 TO day, O hear God's gracious Call, O don't the time delay! The morrow you must not boast of, 'Tis now whilst 'tis to day.
2 Night is no time to do work in, And Night will soon be here; O then repent and leave your sin • To Jesus lend your Ear.
3 To Day, whilst the sweet Sun doth shine, O hearken to God's Word! Now whilst you have the Means of Grace, Turn ye unto the Lord.
4 The Morning of your Day is gone, Nay 'tis already Noon; The Evening too is coming on, And here it will be soon.
5 Your Sun begins to draw full low, And quickly will go down; Rouse up and do your work apace, Before your Day is gone.
