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 to-day.
Why waitest thou? why not believe?
His offered grace with joy receive;
How can 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 to-day.
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 to-day.
