Jesus Is Waiting

Jesus is wait­ing

wait­ing in sor­row

Waiting to save you

com­ing so nigh;

Why will you grieve Him wait­ing the mor­row?

Hear the sweet whis­per: Why will you die?

Soon with heart ach­ing

Trembling and quak­ing

Mercy and fa­vor you will im­plore;

Why should you grieve Him?

Why not re­ceive Him?

Soon the death an­gel will stand at the door.

Jesus is wait­ing

why will you long­er

Grieving the Spir­it

turn Him away?

Vainly you wait that you may grow strong­er

Danger comes near­er while you de­lay.

Jesus is wait­ing

why will you tar­ry?

Gratefully hast­en

bid Him come in;

Why should you long­er mourn­ful­ly car­ry

All the dark load and bur­den of sin?
