Author: Lizzie EdwardsHymnal: Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival #40 (1885)Hymnal Title: Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and RevivalFirst Line: Why art thou waiting till another dayRefrain First Line: One more message hast thou heard in vain?Lyrics: 1 Why art thou waiting till another day,
Grieving the Saviour from thy heart away?
There is no refuge for the soul but he;
Wilt thou reject him, and a wanderer be?
Refrain:
One more message hast thou heard in vain?—
One more warning o’er thy life-time pass’d!—
What shall it profit, though the world thou gain,
If thou shalt lose thy soul at last?
2 Why art thou waiting and the door so near?
Why art thou turning from a friend so dear?
Think of the mercy he has bought for thee;
Wilt thou refuse it, and a wanderer be? [Refrain]
3 Why art thou waiting till another hour?
Break from the fetters of the tempter’s power;
Fly from the pleasures that are light as air,
Come to the shelter of the Saviour’s care. [Refrain]
4 Why art thou waiting when he bids thee come?
Why art thou staying from a father’s home?
Oh, there’s a welcome in that home for thee,
Wilt thou refuge is, and a wanderer be? [Refrain]Tune Title: [Why art thou waiting till another day]
