30. 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 slumber lie?

Chorus:
Calling, oh, hear Him calling,
oh, hear Him, God is calling yet,
oh, hear Him calling, calling,
Calling, oh, hear Him, Calling,
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 look?
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 reach'd my heart. [Chorus]
