Delay Not! Delay Not!

Author: Thomas Hastings, 1784-1872 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 361 hymnals Scripture: John 4:4-15 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 you. No price is demanded, the Savior is here; redemption is purchased, God's promise is true. 2 Delay not! Delay not, O sinner, to come, for mercy still lingers and calls you today. Its voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb; its message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 3 Delay not! Delay not! The Spirit of grace, long grieved and resisted, may take his sad flight and leave you in darkness to finish your race, to sink in the gloom of eternity's night. 4 Delay not! Delay not! Why longer abuse the love and compassion of Jesus, your God? A fountain is opened— how can you refuse? Come, wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood. Topics: Discipleship Used With Tune: MALDWYN

Chorus: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus-- Sweetest name I know, Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go. 2 All my life was wrecked by sin and strife, Discord filled my heart with pain, Jesus swept across the broken strings, Stirred the slumb’ring chords again. (Chorus) 3 Feasting on the riches of His grace, Resting ’neath His sheltering wing, Always looking on His smiling face, That is why I shout and sing. (Chorus) 4 Tho' sometimes He leads through waters deep, Trials fall across the way, Tho' sometimes the path seems rough and steep, See His footprints all the way. (Chorus) 5 Soon He’s coming back to welcome me Far beyond the starry sky; I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown, I shall reign with Him on high. (Chorus) Topics: Christ Name; Christ Name Used With Tune: [Three's within my heart a melody]
