Add to Starred Hymns
< Back to authority page
Classifications: Non-Archaic
Order By:
1 Why not turn to Jesus
While in pray’r we bow?
Why not trust the gracious Saviour,
Why not trust Him now?

Refrain:
Why not? Why not?
Why not trust Him now?
He will never, never fail you,
Why not trust Him now?

2 Why not let Him conquer
Ev’ry doubt and fear?
Why not find your all in Jesus,
He is waiting here? [Refrain]

3 Why not leave the glitter
For the wealth of love?
Why not turn from sin forever,
Why not look above? [Refrain]

4 Why not trust Him only?
He will surely be
Dear on earth and ever dearer
Thro’ eternity. [Refrain]
