Why Longer Wait?

lyricist: C. W. von Crayer, 1894
Composer: Peter Bilhorn

Why do I he­si­tate

When He the price has paid?

Why not re­pent?

While He is call­ing still

Why not ob­ey His will?

Why not ob­ey His will

Why not re­pent?

Why not ob­ey His will

Why not re­pent?

Does He not of­fer me

Eternal li­ber­ty

Salvation free?

Why not sur­ren­der all?

List to His lov­ing call.

List to His lov­ing call.

Come un­to Me.

List to His lov­ing call.

Come un­to Me.

Has not the world ere this

Taught me its va­ni­ties?

Why long­er wait?

When up­on Cal­v’ry’s tree

He gave His life for me.

He gave His life for me

My ran­som paid.

He gave His life for me

My ran­som paid.

Is not the way made clear?

Why long­er doubt and fear

To en­ter in?

Christ is Him­self the door

Why not for ev­er­more

Why not for ev­er­more

Be dead to sin?

Why not for ev­er­more

Be dead to sin?

Loved ones have gone be­fore

Waiting on Ca­naan’s shore

Calling for me.

Why should I still dis­dain

My Sav­ior’s sweet re­frain?

My Sav­ior’s sweet re­frain

Look un­to Me.

My Sav­ior’s sweet re­frain

Look un­to Me.

Lord

I no long­er wait

Let not my wa­ver­ing faith

Keep me from Thee.

Let my poor pray­er be heard

Lord

I ob­ey Thy word;

Lord

I ob­ey Thy word:

Come un­to Me.

Lord

I ob­ey Thy word:

Come un­to Me.
