Why waitest thou,
O burdened soul,
When Jesus now
will make thee whole?
Give up thy all to His control—
The Life, the Truth, the Way.
He is calling thee,
gently calling thee;
He is calling thee,
gently calling thee:
Oh, come and give
Him now thy heart—
He is calling thee today.
Why waitest thou?
Why not believe?
His offered grace with joy receive;
How you still the Spirit grieve?
Thou hast no time to stay.
He is calling thee,
gently calling thee;
He is calling thee,
gently calling thee:
Oh, come and give
Him now thy heart—
He is calling thee today.
Why waitest thou?
The days are few,
And there is work for thee to do;
Forsake the wrong,
the right pursue:
Arise! no more delay.
He is calling thee,
gently calling thee;
He is calling thee,
gently calling thee:
Oh, come and give
Him now thy heart—
He is calling thee today.
