Stay Not
Author: Henrietta E. Blair Hymnal: Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival #3 (1885) First Line: Jesus is waiting to save you Refrain First Line: Stay not, stay not Lyrics: 1 Jesus is waiting to save you,
Bring him your burden of sin;
Knock at the portals of mercy,
Jesus will welcome you in.
Refrain:
Stay not, stay not,
Faithful his promise and true;
Stay not, stay not,
Now there is pardon for you.
2 Come when the morning is brightest,
Come in the springtime of youth,
Come in the vigor of manhood,
Drink at the fountain of truth. [Refrain]
3 Come, and the Saviour will give you
Life and its pleasures untold,
Come, and his mercy will keep you
Guarded and safe in his fold. [Refrain]
4 Come, for the moments are flying,
Come ere they vanish away;
Trust not the dawn of tomorrow,
Jesus is waiting today. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Jesus is waiting to save you]

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Jesus is waiting to save you]" in Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
