Author: Neal Cheetam Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12820 First Line: While man, engrossed in worldly things Lyrics: 1 While man, engrossed in worldly things,
Is apt to slight stern duty’s voice,
And great affairs, by transient cares,
Be banished from his choice.
The Spirit speaks, "Without delay
Be reconciled today."
2 Seek first His favor, who has said,
"I am to Heav’n the only door;
By Me passed in, and freed from sin,
To thirst nor hunger more,
Oh, haste! I am the proffered way,
Th’accepted time’s today."
3 The better way which Jesus trod
Leads to a city firm and sure,
Of golden streets, and honored seats
Forever to endure.
"Well done!" begin today.
4 When closed, those gates, beset with pearls,
Within the righteous, happy, then—
The mansions shared, by Christ prepared—
And all shall shout, "Amen!"
Your soul so glad, you’ll sing for aye
That once you heard, "Today!" Languages: English Tune Title: [While man, engrossed in worldly things]
