God calling yet! Shall I not hear?
Earth’s pleasures shall I still hold dear?
Shall life’s swift passing years all fly,
And still my soul in slumber lie?
God calling yet! Shall I not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise,
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still: can I delay?
God calling yet! And shall He knock,
And I my hear the closer lock?
He still is waiting to receive,
And shall I dare His Spirit grieve?
Ah, yield Him all; in Him confide;
Where but with Him doth peace abide?
Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven,
And let the spirit rise to heaven.
God calling yet! And shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still! my heart, awake!
God calling yet! I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell, from thee I part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart.
