Repent to­day! To­mor­row’s ris­ing sun
May see Thee in the cold em­brace of death;
Soon shall thy brief, un­cer­tain course be run—
This pre­sent hour may see thy lat­est breath.

Refrain

Repent, re­pent! To­mor­row’s sun may nev­er rise
Before the Spir­it strives again with thee,
Eternity may greet thy wak­ing eyes.

Repent to­day! So long thy stub­born will
Has ris­en in re­bel­lion ’gainst thy God—
Why wilt thou grieve and wound thy Mas­ter still?
He the Cre­at­or, and thy­self a clod?

Refrain

Repent to­day! Still stands thy bless­èd Lord,
And bids thee yield to Him a lov­ing heart;
O trust Him and be­lieve His prom­ised word,
Nor long­er from His pre­sence dwell ap­art.

Refrain

Repent to­day! Thou canst not tell the glo­ry
That waits thee in that hap­py home ab­ove,
But an­gels strike their harps and tell the sto­ry
Of joys that bless the soul re­deemed by love.
