Choose, Today

Come, make your choice, for life or death eternal―
Christ or the world― the broad or narrow way;
A home in heaven or an abode infernal―
Unending joy or sorrow: Choose, today!
Come, make your choice. Think how the time is flying!
Soon comes the journey's end for grave and gay,
Your every heartbeat brings you nearer dying;
Your life is but a vapor. Choose today!
Come, make your choice. It may be now or never
That you may choose for Christ. Oh, why delay?
On your decision hangs that vast "forever";
Delay not till tomorrow. Choose, today!
Come, make your choice. Hark to the lamentations
Of souls imprisoned where Hope sheds no ray
"Oh, for one hour on earth to take salvation!
But Hope is lost forever." Choose, today!
Come, make your choice. God offers free salvation.
Oh, will you not―as conscience bids you―say
"I will accept Thy gracious invitation,
And Jesus as my Savior choose, today.
