Brood not o’er the sin­ful past,
Come to Him, be not down­cast,
Seek His shel­ter from the blast
Even now;
What tho’ thou hast shunned Him long,
Oh, His love’s en­dur­ing, strong;
Sing to­day re­demp­tion’s song
Even now.

Refrain

Even now He calls for thee;
He is plead­ing ten­der­ly;
Ye hea­vy la­den, come to Me;
Even now, yes, ev­en now.

He the sin­ner will re­ceive,
Rest and com­fort He will give,
Lo! He bids thee rise and live
Even now;
Tho’ the clouds have o’er thee rolled,
Wand’rer in the dark and cold,
He will lead thee to the fold
Even now.

Refrain

Though thy sins be dark as night,
He will cleanse thee pure and white,
Leave the paths of woe and blight
Even now;
Hasten, ere it be too late;
O, accept Him, do not wait;
Wide for thee He sets the gate
Even now.

Refrain
