Author: Sarah Borthwick Findlater; Gerhard Tersteegen, d. 1769 Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #76 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: God calling yet! - shall I not hear? Lyrics: 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?
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?
3 God calling yet! -- and shall He knock,
And I my heart the closer lock?
He still is waiting to receive,
And shall I dare His Spirit grieve?
4 God calling yet! - and shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still; -- my heart, awake!
5 Ah, yield Him all; in Him confide;
Where but with Him doth peace abide?
Break loose, let earthly bonds be riv'n,
And let the spirit rise to heav'n!
Amen.
