My son, know thou the Lord,
Thy father’s God obey;
Seek His protecting care by night,
His guardian hand by day.

Call, while He may be found;
Seek Him while He is near;
Serve Him with all thy heart and mind,
And worship Him with fear.

If Thou wilt seek his face,
His ear will hear Thy cry;
Then shalt Thou find His mercy sure,
His grace forever nigh.

But if thou leave thy God,
Nor choose the path to heaven,
Then shalt thou perish in thy sins,
And never be forgiven.

Seek the Lord who now is present, pray to One who is at hand.
Let the wicked cease from sinning, evildoers change their mind.
On the sinful God has pity; those returning God forgives.
This is what the Lord is saying to a world that disbelieves.

“Judge Me not by human standards! As the vault of heaven soars
High above the earth, so higher are my thoughts and ways than yours.
See how rain and snow from heaven make earth blossom and bear fruit,
Giving you, before returning, seed for sowing, bread to eat:

“So My Word returns not fruitless; does not from its labors cease
Till it has achieved My purpose in a world of joy and peace.”
God is love! How close the prophet to that vital gospel word!
In Isaiah’s inspiration it is Jesus we have heard!

Will you take Jesus to be your Guide?
His love will brighten the way;
Safe in His keeping you may abide;
Will you take Jesus today?

Refrain

Will you take Jesus today?
Will you take Jesus today?
He offers pardon and peace to all;
Will you take Jesus today?

For you the Savior was crucified,
Accept His love while you may;
The door of mercy stands open wide;
Will you take Jesus today?

Refrain

He longs to enter your heart of sin;
How can you turn Him away?
Throw wide the portal and let Him in;
Will you take Jesus today?

Refrain

I will take Jesus, my Lord and King;
His word I gladly obey;
My sins forgiven, His praise I’ll sing,
I will take Jesus today!

Refrain
