81. God is Calling Yet

1 God calling yet! shall I not hear?
Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear?
Shall life's swift passing years all fly,
And still my soul in slumbers lie?

Chorus:
Calling, (God is calling yet,) oh, hear Him calling, (God is calling yet,) oh, hear Him,
God is calling yet, oh, hear Him calling, calling;
Calling, (God is calling yet,) oh, hear HIm, calling, (God is calling yet,), oh, hear Him,
God is calling yet, oh, hear Him calling yet.

2 God calling yet! shall I not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise,
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still; can I delay? [Chorus]

3 God calling yet! and shall He knock,
And I my heart the closer lock?
He still is waiting to receive,
And shall I dare His Spirit grieve? [Chorus]

4 God calling yet! I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell, from thee I part;
The voice of God has reached my heart. [Chorus]
