Author: | G. F. R. |
Tune: | [Why do you wait, dear brother] |
Composer: | Geo. F. Root, by per. |
1 Why do you wait, dear brother,
Oh, why do you tarry so long?
Your Savior is waiting to give you
A place in His sanctified throng.
Refrain
Why not? why not?
Why not come to Him now?
Why not? why not?
Why not come to Him now?
2 What do you hope, dear brother,
To gain by a further delay?
There’s no one to save you but Jesus,
There’s no other way but His way. [Refrain]
3 Do you not feel, dear brother,
His Spirit now striving within?
Oh, why not accept His salvation,
And throw off your burden of sin. [Refrain]
4 Why do you wait, dear brother,
The harvest is passing away,
Your Savior is longing to bless you,
There's danger and death in delay. [Refrain]
