Text:God calling yet! – shall I not hear?
Tune:ASLEEP IN JESUS
Composer:Anon.

60. 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 give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still:--My heart, awake!

5 Ah, yield Him all: in Him confide:
Where but with Him doth peace abide?
Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven,
And let the spirit rise to heaven!

6 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.
