Hymn 637 WHY DO YOU WAIT? Lyrics

1. Why do you wait dear brother,
Oh why do you tarry so long?
Your Saviour is waiting to give you
A place in His sanctified throng

Chorus:
Why not? Why not?
Why not come to Him now?

2. What do you hope, dear brother,
To gain by a further delay?
There’s no one to save you but Jesus,
There’s no other way but His way.

3. Do you not feel, dear brother,
His Spirit now striving within?
Oh, why not accept His salvation,
And throw off your burden of sin?

4. Why do you wait dear brother?
The harvest is passing away;
Your Saviour is longing to bless you,
There’s danger and death in delay.
