Hark! the Sav­ior’s voice I hear,
Calling me from de­serts drear,
He no more may be so near, if I wait;
Why should I today re­fuse,
Or His mer­cies fail to choose?
Naught to gain, but all to lose, if I wait.

Refrain

If I wait to seek God’s fa­vor,
Lost may be my soul for aye;
If I wait, but oh! my Sav­ior,
Help me yield to Thee to­day!

Endless life He of­fers me,
Sweet sal­va­tion full and free,
But I may not ran­somed be, if I wait;
Trusting in His right­eous­ness,
All my sins I will con­fess,
Lest it be too late to bless, if I wait.

Refrain

All to Christ I now re­sign,
Yielding to His will di­vine,
I may pass the bor­der line, if I wait;
The ac­cept­ed time’s to­day,
And I now His voice ob­ey,
Death may bear my soul away, if I wait.

Refrain
