Hymnal: Joyful Songs #29 (1875) First Line: Why should I wait? I cannot flee Lyrics: 1 Why should I wait? I cannot flee,
To other refuge than to thee;
And vile and helpless though I be,
Jesus, I come to thee.
2 Why should I wait? I look within,
And nothing there I see but sin;
And Thou alone canst make me clean,
Jesus, I come to thee.
3 Why should I wait? I must not wait,
Tomorrow's sun may be to late;
And death may seal my hapless state,
Jesus, I come to thee.
4 Why should I wait? O Lord, I plead
Thy mercy in this time of need;
And as my hiding place indeed,
Jesus, I come to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: [Why should I wait? I cannot flee]
