Glorious Praise ‎#91

91. Why Waitest Thou?

1 One there is who loves thee,
Waiting still for thee:
Canst thou yet reject him?
None so kind as he.
Do not grieve him longer,
Come and trust him now;
He has waited all thy days,
Why waitest thou?

Refrain:
Still his love would save thee,
O receive him now;
He has waited all thy days,
Why waitest thou?

2 Tenderly He woos thee,
Do not slight His call;
Tho’ thy sins are many,
He’ll forgive them all.
Turn to him repenting,
He will cleanse thee now;
He is waiting at thy heart,
Why waitest thou? [Refrain]

3 Jesus still is waiting:
Sinner, why delay?
To his arms of mercy
Rise and haste away.
Only come believing,
He will save thee now;
He is waiting at the door,
Why waitest thou? [Refrain]
