8378. Christ Is Waiting

1 O sinner, listen while you may,
For Christ can wash your sins away;
He bore them all upon the cross,
To save you from eternal loss.

Refrain:
Waiting, waiting,
Christ is waiting to save;
Waiting, waiting,
Christ is waiting to save.

2 Oh, come to Christ! do not delay,
But seek His pardon while you may;
Oh, come just now, and do not wait,
Until the Spirit says, Too late. [Refrain]

3 Just as you are, oh hasten now!
Confess your sins and humbly bow!
His mighty grace He will impart,
His blood will cleanse your sinful heart. [Refrain]

4 Oh! can it be you will refuse
To listen to such gracious news,
And shut your ears, and close your eyes,
And die the death that never dies? [Refrain]
