Author: Thos. Hastings Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #207 (1929) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near Lyrics: 1. Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near;
The waters of life are now flowing for thee;
No price is demanded, the Savior is here,
Redemption is purchased, salvation is free.
2. Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus thy God?
A fountain is opened, how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood?
3. Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come,
For Mercy still lingers and calls thee today:
Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb;
Her message unheeded will soon pass away.
4. Delay not, delay not, the hour is at hand;
The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade;
The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand;
What pow'r then, O sinner, shall lend thee its aid? Topics: The Church; Means of Grace Warning Languages: English Tune Title: GOSHEN
Delay Not, Delay Not
