Why Linger?

Author: Mrs. W. L. Brown Hymnal: Joyful Sound #84 (1889) First Line: Oh, why do you linger yet longer Refrain First Line: Why linger, why linger Lyrics: 1 Oh, why do you linger yet longer? O sinner, to Jesus draw nigh; The Saviour is lovingly calling, “Dear sinner, oh, why will ye die?” Refrain: Why linger, why linger, While mercy is nigh? Why linger, why linger? Oh, why will ye die? 2 The pleasures of earth are deluding, They soon, ah, they soon pass away, Thy grasp they are often eluding, And then, yes, ah, then they decay. [Refrain] 3 The darkness of death will o’ertake you, And life with its pleasures be gone; The hopes that have cheered will forsake you, And leave you in darkness forlorn. [Refrain] 4 Then look to the Saviour for mercy, You’ve only to look and believe; His arms are extended to save you; He lovingly waits to receive. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, why do you linger yet longer]
