209. Why Do You Wait?

1 Why do you wait, dear brother,
Oh, why do you tarry so long?
Your Saviour 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 Why do your wait, dear brother,
The harvest is passing away,
Your Saviour is longing to bless you,
There's danger and death in delay. [Refrain]
