Representative Text

1 Sometime you mean to leave your sin,
And seek your Saviour’s love,
Sometime the life anew begin,
And start for home above.

Refrain:
If sometime, why not now?
If sometime, why not now?
You mean to make His peace at last,
If sometime, why not now?

2 Sometime along the barren way,
You mean to sow His seed,
You mean to go some future day,
His sheep and lambs to feed! [Refrain]

3 Sometime you mean to bear His grain,
From fields with harvest fair,
You would not have Him call in vain,
You mean to do your share! [Refrain]
