So patient, forgiving, and true?
The arms of his mercy are open;
He offers a welcome to you.

O come to the arms that are waiting,
They long have been waiting for you;
Oh, come to your loving Redeemer,
So gentle, forgiving and true.
2 Once led as a lamb to the slaughter,
He suffered, and languished, and died;
And now, in his tender compassion,
He shows you his hands and his side. [Refrain]

O turn ye, for why will ye die?
Your sun may go down in a moment,
The arrow of death may be night. [Refrain]
4 Again the dear Saviour is pleading;
Oh, look to his mercy and live;
The pleasures of time are but fleeting,
Then trust not the promise they give. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, why are you slighting the Saviour]

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Oh, why are you slighting the Saviour]" in Melodious Sonnets William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
