Too Late, Too Late

Of whom shall it ev­er be said

Too late

Too late for the man­sions fair?

And whom shall we find at the pear­ly gate

Made meet for a wel­come there?

O do not de­lay

but while you may

In haste to the Sav­ior bow;

Alas! if thine ear the words should hear

Ye can­not en­ter now.

Of whom shall it ev­er be said

Too late

To en­ter thro’ mer­cy’s door?

The Sav­ior no long­er for thee can wait

Nor ten­der­ly woo thee more.

To whom shall it ev­er be said

Too late

Naught can for thee now av­ail!

Once spurn­ing thy Sav­ior and ad­vo­cate

All else for thy help must fail.

O turn to the Sav­ior

no long­er wait;

He ten­der­ly calls to­day

O why from the beau­ti­ful pear­ly gate

Should any be turned away?
