Melodies of Praise Lyrics
Hymn No.318

First Line: Why not? why not?,

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?
Oh, why not accept His salvation,
And throw off your burden of sin? (Chorus)

4
Why do your wait, dear brother?
The harvest is passing away;
Your Savior is longing to bless you,
There are danger and death in delay. (Chorus)
