Now is the time to make your choice;
Say, will you to Mount Zion go?
Say, will you have this Christ or no?

O turn, sinner, turn,
May the Lord help you turn!
O turn, sinner, turn,
Why will you die?

Say, will you be forever blest,
And with this glorious Jesus rest?
Will you be saved from guilt and pain?
Will you with Christ forever reign?

(Chorus)
