Come To-Day

By Edward J. Urquhart

THIS eve when gathering shadows Shall follow the setting sun, And the stars in the tranquil heavens Declare that the day is done, How many hearts that are beating So warm with the flow of life, Will pass with the passing sunshine Away from the world's mad strife?

For to-day alone is certain, Your morrow may never be; The sun in its morning splendor May fail to awaken thee. But to-day, in accents tender, The Spirit, the Bride, say Come; For our Saviour over yonder Is calling his children home.

While probation's door is open, E'er the twilight shadows fall, Why not bow in prayer to Jesus, Why not give to him thine all? Earth, with all its gold and glitter, Soon, as chaff, will pass away; Only he who hides in Jesus Will be victor in that day.
