No longer wait, my brother;
even now
God’s Spirit seeks an entrance
to your heart;
Come to the cross,
and to the Saviour bow;
Unbar the door:
make haste, lest He depart.
O sinner, come to Christ,
the living Way;
Still He is pleading:
why not come today?
No longer wait,
O sad and troubled soul,
His pard’ning grace
He offers free to all;
O weary one,
that grace will make you whole:
Oh why not hear
the loving Saviour’s call.
O sinner, come to Christ,
the living Way;
Still He is pleading:
why not come today?
No longer wait; the Lord
your God hath said,
“I will not strive
for ever with your heart”;
Oh come, ere yet
the spark of life has fled,
And thou hast failed
to choose the better part.
O sinner, come to Christ,
the living Way;
Still He is pleading:
why not come today?
