1 Choose I must, and soon must choose
Holiness, or Heaven lose;
While, what Heaven loves, I hate—
Shut for me is Heaven’s gate.
2 Endless sin means endless woe;
Into endless sin I go—
If my soul, from reason rent,
Takes from sin its final bent!
3 As the stream its channel grooves,
And within that channel moves—
So doth habit’s deepest tide
Groove its bed, and there abide!
4 Light obeyed increaseth light!
Light resisted bringeth night;
Who shall give me will to choose,
If the love of light I lose?
5 Speed, my soul! this instant yield!
Let the light its scepter wield;
While thy God prolongeth grace—
Haste thee toward His holy face!
