NOW, IS THE TIME.

By Mrs. P. Alderman

MRS. P. ALDERMAN.
If we gain the heavenly portal Pure at last, All the seeming and the scheming In the past, Now’s the time for victory, Heed no more the selfish plea; Be steadfast.
Then He’ll trust us with His treasures, Gems untold, When no guile nor secret measures We shall hold, When our souls are pure and white As fine linen in the light Of His fold.
Longs my soul to be made pure In His sight, Ne’er to falter, but endure In the fight. Then He’ll give us things most holy, Cleansing blood, O make me lowly, Free from blight!
Now is time to wake and pray. Soul of mine, Sleep not till another day,— ’Tis not thine,— For the Lord has given us warning, Haste to seek thy soul’s adorning; Rise and shine.
