Lyrics

Do not say tomorrow,
Come today;
Seek a Savior’s blessing,
While you may.

Refrain

Come today,
Come today;
Oh do not say tomorrow,
Come today.

Do not say tomorrow,
When I’m old,
I will seek salvation,
For my soul.

Do not say tomorrow,
I’ll obey
;
Do thy present duty,
Come what may.

Do not say tomorrow,
I will go
;
Tomorrow will bring thee
Endless woe.
