| Text: | Why Not Now? |
| Author: | Daniel W. Whittle, 1840-1901 |
| Tune: | [While we pray and while we plead] |
| Composer: | Charles C. Case, 1843-1918 |
1 While we pray and while we plead,
While you see your soul’s deep need,
While our Father calls you home,
Will you not, my brother, come?
Refrain:
Why not now? Why not now?
Why not come to Jesus now?
Why not now? Why not now?
Why not come to Jesus now?
2 You have wandered far away;
Do not risk another day;
Do not turn from God your face,
But today accept His grace. (Refrain)
3 In the world you’ve failed to find
Aught of peace for troubled mind;
Come to Christ, on Him believe,
Peace and joy you shall receive. (Refrain)
4 Come to Christ, confession make;
Come to Christ, and pardon take;
Trust in Him from day to day,
He will keep you all the way. (Refrain)
