Trifle Not

Trifle not your time away,
Come to Jesus, come today,
For tomorrow you may be
In a vast eternity.

Refrain

While with you the Spirit pleads,
While for you He intercedes,
Now the voice of love obey,
Come to Jesus, come today.

If you slight His offered grace
And refuse to seek His face,
Tho’ He linger at your heart,
You may grieve Him to depart.

Refrain

Has the world the balm to heal
What your life perchance may feel?
Trust it not; no more delay,
Come to Jesus, come today.

Refrain

Author: Fanny Crosby

Year: 1885

Commonly attributed to Fanny J. Crosby (also known as Frances Jane Crosby or Mrs. Van Alstyne). The style, meter, and evangelistic urgency are characteristic of her work. Some hymnals list the author simply as "F. J. C." or leave it anonymous, but most sources credit Crosby.
