Author: John Marchant Whyte Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11676 First Line: Why do you wait a convenient day? Refrain First Line: Will you not come to Him now? Lyrics: 1 Why do you wait a convenient day?
Jesus is calling you now;
Why do you turn from His pleading away?
Jesus is calling you now.
He stands at the door of your heart just now,
The dews of the morning are on His brow.
He is there waiting and calling you now;
O will you not come to Him now?
Refrain:
Will you not come to Him now?
Will you not trust in Him now?
Just now, right now,
O hear Him, He’s calling you now.
2 Days have gone by, and the months and the years,
Jesus is calling you now;
Joys have departed, and sorrow appears,
Jesus is calling you now.
The promise you made Him was never kept,
When down by the graveside you mourned and wept;
Turn to Him now, and His free grace accept;
O will you not come to Him now? [Refrain]
3 Darkness is deepening, and oh, ’tis so late!
Jesus is calling you now;
What if the Spirit left you to your fate?
Jesus is calling you now.
Escape for thy life, tarry not, O soul,
Escape for thy life, you may miss the goal.
And if you miss it, what horrors, O soul!
O will you not come to Him now? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Why do you wait a convenient day]

Jesus Is Calling to You Now
John M. Whyte
1850 - 1927 Person Name: J. M. W. Author of "Jesus is calling to you now" in The Finest of the Wheat John M. (Marchant) Whyte. Evangelist, hymn writer, singer, b Paris, Canada West (Ontario), 8 Jun 1850, d Toronto 17 Mar 1927. He studied at the University of Toronto and devoted himself to evangelistic and temperance work. Typical of several hundred songs for which he wrote the words or the music, or both, are 'Canada Shall Yet Be Free,' 'Toronto the Good,' and 'Song of Trust.' Many songs appeared in separate editions published by Toronto News Co or Briggs. With his brother David Albert Whyte he edited Sing Out the Glad News (Briggs 1885) and Songs of Calvary (Briggs 1889). The Great Redemption (Briggs 1894), Nuggets of Gold (Briggs 1898) and Battle Songs of the Cross (1901) contain many of his own melodies. Eight of his hymns are reprinted in CMH vol 5. The editor of the reprint, John Beckwith, has concluded that 'Come Away to Jesus Now' and 'Jesus Is Calling You Now' may have enjoyed a measure of popularity.
