Author: George F. Root, 1820-1895 Appears in 444 hymnals First Line: Why do you wait, dear brother Refrain First Line: Why not, why not? Lyrics: 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.
Chorus:
Why not? why not?
Why not come to Him now?
Why not? why not?
Why not come to Him now?
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. [Chorus]
3 Do you not feel, dear brother,
His Spirit now striving within?
O why not accept His salvation,
And throw off thy burden of sin. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
