The Time Is Now

EMADA AVERY GRISWOLD

The time is now, the Spirit saith,
For all to know abundant life,
One need not wait till after death—
The time is now, the Spirit saith.
Lift up your eyes, take freer breath;
Arise, and see beyond the strife!
The time is now, the Spirit saith,
For all to know abundant life.

Abundance full is yours this day,
Of life and love and highest joy,
And nothing can your progress stay—
Abundance full is yours this day.
Your liberty none can gainsay,
Nor can inharmony annoy;
Abundance full is yours this day,
Of life and love and highest joy.
