Will you to­day ac­cept the Lord?
No bet­ter time than now;
Repent, be­lieve His sacr­ed word,
No bet­ter time than now.

Refrain

No bet­ter time than now,
No bet­ter time than now,
Believe, ac­cept your bless­èd Lord,
No bet­ter time than now.

I stand out­side the door and knock,
No bet­ter time than now;
I’ll plant thy feet up­on the rock,
No bet­ter time than now.

Refrain

Oh, taste and see the Lord is good,
No bet­ter time than now;
And you will stand where saints have stood,
No bet­ter time than now.
