Oh, why do you tarry so long?
Your Saviour is waiting to give you
A place in his sanctified throng.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
3 Do you not feel, dear brother,
His Spirit now striving within?
Oh, why not accept his salvation,
And throw off thy burden of sin? [Chorus]
4 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? [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Why do you wait, dear brother]
Why Do You Wait?
