Admit him, or the hour's at hand

You'll at his door rejected stand.

Joseph Grigg, 1765.

203The Stranger at the Door. L.M.

(430) Why Not Be Saved To-Night?

And close thine eyes against the light;

Poor-sinner, harden not thy heart;

Thou would'st be saved, why not to-night?

2 To-morrow's sun may never rise
