Christ calling yet! Shall I not hear?
|
|---|
|
| 1. | Christ 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? |
| | Calling yet, oh, hear Him! |
| | Calling yet, oh, hear Him! |
| | Christ is calling yet; oh! Hear |
| | Him calling, calling! |
| | Calling yet, oh, hear Him! |
| | Calling yet, oh, hear Him! |
| | Christ is calling yet; oh, hear |
| | Him calling yet! |
| 2. | Christ 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? |
| 3. | Christ calling yet! And shall He knock, |
| | And I my heart the closer lock? |
| | He still is waiting to receive; |
| | And shall I dare His Spirit grieve? |
| 4. | Christ 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! |
| 5. | Christ calling yet! I cannot stay; |
| | My heart I yield without delay; |
| | Vain world, farewell! From thee I part; |
| | The voice of Christ has reached my |
| | heart. |
