Remember your pro­mise to Je­sus
You made in the years long ago;
A loved one from earth’s scenes was pass­ing,
The glo­ries of Hea­ven to know.
Your heart then with ang­uish was break­ing,
And tears were be­dimm­ing your eyes;
You pro­mised your Lord and your loved one
To meet them some day in the skies.

The world with its bu­si­ness and plea­sures
Has claimed all your thought ev­ery day;
A leaf on life’s cur­rent, you’ve drift­ed
Still far­ther and far­ther away.
While God from His boun­ty has clothed you,
And fed you and kept you from ill,
Though you of His care are un­mind­ful,
He loves you and cares for you still.

Renew now your vow made to Je­sus;
Come, trust­ing His pow­er to save;
For there is no hope, and no mer­cy
Extended be­yond the dark grave.
Come back, for His arms are wide op­en,
And time is swift pass­ing away;
The days of pro­ba­tion are end­ing,
Get right with your God while you may.
