First Line: Why waitest thou, O burdened soul,

Why waitest thou, O burdened soul,
When Jesus now will make thee whole ?
Give up thy all to His control------
The Life, the Truth, the Way.

He is calling thee, gently calling thee ;
He is calling thee, gently calling thee :
Oh, come and give Him now thy heart-----
He is calling thee to-day.

2 Why waitest thou ? why not believe ?
His offered grace with joy receive ;
How can you still the Spirit grieve ?
Thou hast no time to stay.

3 Why waitest thou ? the days are few,
And there is work for thee to do ;
Forsake the wrong, the right pursue;
Arise ! no more delay.
