28. "God 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 slumber lie?

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?

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?

4 God calling yet!-- and shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still!--my heart, awake!

5 God calling yet!-- I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart!
