Delay Not, O Sinner, Draw Near

Delay not

de­lay not

O sin­ner

draw near.

The wa­ters of life are

Now flow­ing for thee;

No price is de­mand­ed

The Sav­ior is here;

Redemption is pur­chased

Salvation is free.

Delay not

de­lay not

O sin­ner

to come

For mer­cy still ling­ers

And calls thee to­day.

Her voice is not heard in

The vale of the tomb;

Her mes­sage

un­heed­ed

Will soon pass away.

Delay not

de­lay not

The Spir­it of grace

Long grieved and re­sist­ed

May take His sad flight

And leave thee in dark­ness

To fin­ish thy race

To sink in the gloom of

Eternity’s night.

Delay not

de­lay not

The hour is at hand

The earth shall dis­solve

And the heav­ens shall fade;

The dead

small and great

In the judg­ment shall stand;

What help­er

then

sin­ner

Shall lend thee his aid?

Delay not

de­lay not

Why long­er abuse

The love and com­pas­sion

Of Je­sus thy God?

A fount­ain is op­en

How canst thou re­fuse

To wash and be cleansed in

His par­don­ing blood?
