Moment for Meekness

"Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come.... seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth... seek righteousness, seek meekness" (Zephaniah 2:2,3). "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully; every man as he purposeth in his heart" (2 Corinthians 9:6,7).

Before the great King shall bring forth His decree,
Before the day pass as the chaff in the wind,
Before every rebel on earth bow the knee,
There's bountiful mercy for all who have sinned!

The moment for meekness has long since arrived;
The day of salvation shall soon pass away.
Should not our submission to Christ be revived,
In view of His coming now closer each day?

The time to go forth with the Gospel and weep
With bountiful sowing for reaching the lost
Should not be delayed, lest we fail to reap
Because we debated the time and the cost!

Lord, may we be counted with all who are meek,
Revived in the hope that Your coming draws near.
Before the day the passes as chaff, we would seek
To serve You each moment until You appear.
