Of whom shall it ev­er be said, Too late,
Too late for the man­sions fair?
And whom shall we find at the pear­ly gate,
Made meet for a wel­come there?

Refrain

O do not de­lay, but while you may,
In haste to the Sav­ior bow;
Alas! if thine ear the words should hear,
Ye can­not en­ter now.

Of whom shall it ev­er be said, Too late,
To en­ter thro’ mer­cy’s door?
The Sav­ior no long­er for thee can wait,
Nor ten­der­ly woo thee more.

Refrain

To whom shall it ev­er be said, Too late,
Naught can for thee now avail!
Once spurn­ing thy Sav­ior and ad­vo­cate,
All else for thy help must fail.

Refrain

O turn to the Sav­ior, no long­er wait;
He ten­der­ly calls to­day,
O why from the beau­ti­ful pear­ly gate
Should any be turned away?
