Verse 1

Oh, do not let the word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light;
Poor-sinner, harden not thy heart;
Thou would’st be saved, why not to-night?

Verse 2

To-morrow’s sun may never rise
To bless thy long-deluded sight;
This is the time, oh, then be wise!
Thou would’st be saved, why not to-night?

Verse 3

Our God in pity lingers still;
And wilt thou thus his love requite?
Renounce at length thy stubborn will;
Thou would’st be saved, why not to-night?

Verse 4

The world has nothing left to give,
It has no new, no pure delight;
Oh, try the life which Christians live;
Thou would’st be saved, why not to-night?

Verse 1

Hasten, sinner! to be wise,
Stay not for the morrow’s sun;
Wisdom, if thou still despise,
Harder is she to be won.

Verse 2

Hasten, mercy to implore,
Stay not for the morrow’s sun,
Lest thy season should be o’er,
Ere this evening’s stage be run.

Verse 3

Hasten, sinner! to return,
Stay not for the morrow’s sun,
Lest thy lamp should fail to burn,
Ere salvation’s work is done.

Verse 4

Hasten, sinner! to be blessed,
Stay not for the morrow’s sun,
Lest perdition thee arrest,
Ere the morrow is begun.

Verse 1

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

Refrain

Why not? why not?
Why not come to him now?
Why not? why not?
Why not come to him now?

Verse 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.

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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

Verse 1

Jesus is tenderly calling thee home--
Calling to-day, calling to-day;
Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam
Farther and farther away?

Refrain

Calling to-day,
Calling to-day.
Jesus is calling,
Is tenderly calling to-day.

Verse 2

Jesus is calling the weary to rest--
Calling to-day, calling to-day;
Bring him thy burden and thou shalt be blest;

Jesus is waiting, oh, come to him now--
Waiting to-day, waiting to-day;
Come with thy sins, at his feet lowly bow;
Come, and no longer delay.

Verse 4

Jesus is pleading, oh, list to his voice--
Hear him to-day, hear him to-day;
They who believe on his name shall rejoice;
Quickly arise and away.

Verse 1

Delay not, delay not; oh, sinner! draw near;
The waters of life are now flowing for thee;
No price is demanded, the Savior is here,
Redemption is purchased, salvation is free.

Verse 2

Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God?
A fountain is opened,--how canst thou refuse
To wash, and be cleansed in his pardoning blood?

Verse 3

Delay not, delay not, oh, sinner! to come,
For mercy still lingers and calls thee to-day;
Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb,--
Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away.

Verse 4

Delay not, delay not; the Spirit of grace,
Long grieved and resisted, may take its sad flight;
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,--
To sink in the vale of eternity’s night.

Some more convenient day
On thee I’ll call.”
