184. God Calling Yet

1 God calling yet! shall I not hear?
Earth’s pleasures shall I still hold dear?
Shall life’s swift passing years all fly,
And will my soul in slumber lie?
And will my soul in slumber lie?

2 God calling yet! shall I not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise,
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still; can I delay?
He calls me still; can I delay?

3 God calling yet? And shall He knock,
And I my heart the closer lock?
He still is waiting to receive,
And shall I dare His spirit grieve?
And shall I dare His spirit grieve?

4 God calling yet! And shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still; my heart, awake!
He calls me still; my heart, awake!

5 God calling yet! I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart.
The voice of God hath reached my heart.
