God calling yet! shall I not hear?

1

God 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?

2

God 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

God 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

God calling yet! and shall I giveNo heed, but still in bondage live?I wait, but he does not forsake:He calls me still; my heart, awake!

5

God calling yet! I cannot stay;My heart I yield without delay;Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;The voice of God hath reached my heart.
