If spared ‘till August seventeen
I shall be ninety-five;
And I can truly say,
That God is love, from day to day.
He gave His only Son to die
That sinners, such as you and I,
Might be forever blest.
So come to Jesus while you may,
Give Him your heart without delay,
Then in the Father’s house above,
Where all is joy and peace and love,
Find everlasting rest.
C. Simmonds, 1924.
