THE DANGER OF DELAY.

1 WHY should I say, ‘‘’Tis yet too soon .
To seek for heaven, or think of death ?”
A flower may fade before ’tis noon,

And I this day may lose my breath.

2 If this rebellious heart of mine
Despise the gracious call of Heaven,
I may be harden’d in my sin,
And never have repentance given.

3 What if the Lord grow wroth and swear,
While I refuse to read and pray,
That he’ll refuse to lend an ear
To all my groans another day !
