Lyrics

Grace is of­fered you, dear sin­ner,
In this gos­pel day of time,
Grace to save and keep from ev­il,
And to make your life sub­lime.

Refrain

Soon the sum­mer will be end­ed,
And the har­vest will be o’er;
Soon the day of of­fered mer­cy
Will be past for­ev­er­more.

If you live and die a sin­ner,
And re­ject God’s of­fered grace,
You will cry for rocks and moun­tains,
Thus to hide you from His face.

Refrain

While in life is time ac­cept­ed
To pre­pare to meet the Lord,
Be as­sured that He is faith­ful
To ful­fill His ho­ly word.

Refrain

Will this be your la­men­ta­tion:
Through ne­glect I’m lost at last,
For the sum­mer now is end­ed,
And the har­vest time is past
?
