WHY should I till to-morrow stay For what thou wouldst bestow to-day, What thou more willing art to give Than I to ask, or to receive?

This moment, Lord, thou ready art To break, and to bind up my heart, To pour the balm of Gilead in, Forgive, and take away my sin.

This is the time: I surely may Salvation find on this glad day, And knowing thee my Saviour prove That thou art God, and God is love.

Give then the bliss for which I pray To-day, while it is called to-day, The nature pure, the life divine, And make thy gracious fulness mine!
