Now is the accepted time…now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2
Words: John Dobell, 1806.
Music: Olmutz, arranged from a Gregorian chant by Lowell Mason, 1824 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Now is th’accepted time,
Now is the day of grace;
Now sinners! come without delay,
And seek the Savior’s face.
Now is th’accepted time,
The Savior calls today;
Pardon and peace He freely gives,
Then why should you delay?
Now is th’accepted time,
The Gospel bids you come;
And every promise in His Word,
Declares there yet is room.
Lord, draw reluctant souls,
And feast them with Thy love;
Then will the angels spread their wings
And bear the news above.
