American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#22

22. O Seek The Lord To-Day

1 O seek the Lord today!
Today He hath salvation;
Turn from thy sinful way
In earnest supplication.
Repent and seek His grace,
His call to thee doth sound;
O turn to Him thy face
While yet He may be found.

2 Behold, the sun of grace
So brightly on thee shineth;
O take with Christ thy place
While He to thee inclineth.
Perchance the summons may
Ere long be sent to thee;
O turn to Him today,
Let Him thy solace be.

3 There is salvation still
For hearts contritely crying
To Him whose gracious will
Is now to save the dying.
His grace doth beckon thee
To seek thy Savior blest;
O hasten, swiftly flee
To Him who giveth rest.

4 As in its mother's arm
The child sweet comfort gaineth,
So, shielding thee from harm,
The Lord thy heart sustaineth.
O seek that sweet repose,
Come unto Him and stay;
Thy Savior now is close,
O come to Him today.

Amen.
