Let It Be Now

Let it be now! The choice is be­fore us;

Come

while the Sav­ior so ten­der­ly yearns;

Let it be now

Heav’n’s joy-bells in chor­us

Ring out the tid­ings—a lost one re­turns!

Let it be now

O let it be now!

Let it be now

if life is be­gin­ning

Now on the thresh­old of days yet to be;

Losing your life

a new one you’re win­ning

A life that will last thro’ eter­ni­ty.

Let it be now

tho’ years have been squan­dered

Living for this world in plea­sure or sin;

Pardon He will

tho’ far you have wan­dered

Grant you His Spir­it—a new life with­in.

Let it be now

tho’ life is de­clin­ing

Feebler the step

and fast fail­ing the sight;

Why should you lin­ger

hope­less

re­pin­ing?

Trust Him

He’ll grant you at ev­en­tide light.

Let it be now! Come

help­less

be­liev­ing

Pleading His meri­ts

in low­li­ness bow;

Pardon and cleans­ing

new life re­ceiv­ing

O let it be now! Yes

let it be now!
