EN 4992 Lo! Now the Time Accepted Peals

2Cor.6.2

Versi Version 1

1

Lo! now the time accepted peals

Its tidings of release;

A time that with salvation heals,

And to repentant tears reveals

The mercy seat of peace.

2

Then let us wisely now restrain

Our food, our drink, our sleep;

From idle word and jest refrain

And steadfastly begin again

A stricter watch to keep.

3

Now Heav’n-taught love will haste to rise

And seek the cheerless bed,

Where cold and wan the sufferer lies,

And Christ Himself to heedful eyes

Is hungering for bread.

4

’Tis now that zealous charity

Her goods more largely spends,

Lays up her treasure in the sky,

And freely yields, ere death draw nigh,

To God the wealth He lends.

5

Then consecrate us, Lord, anew,

And fire our hearts with love;

That all we think, and all we do,

Within, without, be pure and true,

Rekindled from above.

6

Now fuller praise and glory be

To Thee, the First and Last,

And make us, blessed Trinity,

More faithful soldiers, worthier Thee,

Through this our chastening fast.
