Representative Text

1 There’s a step that you must take
A decision you must make;
From you danger quickly wake,
Do it now, just now.

Refrain:
Now, can only be today,
Now, implies no more delay,
Yesterday is gone forever
And tomorrow may mean never,
Do it now, do it now.

2 There’s a word you must believe,
And a gift you must receive,
There are sins which you must leave;
Do it now, just now. [Refrain]

3 With your God you must get right,
There are foes which you must fight,
Leave the darkness for the light;
Do it now, just now. [Refrain]

4 To the Refuge you must fly,
Take the shelter which is nigh,
Just obey, not asking why,
Do it now, just now. [Refrain]

5 All God’s righteous claims allow,
With submission lowly bow,
As His own yourself avow,
Do it now, just now. [Refrain]
