What will you do without Him,
When He hath shut the door,
And you are left outside, for
You would not come before?
When it is no use knocking,
No use to stand and wait;
To hear those words of sorrow,
That terrible “Too Late!”
Why should you do without Him?
It is not yet too late;
The day of grace continues,
He has not shut the gate.
He calls you! —hush! He calls you!
He would not have you go
Another step without Him,
Because He loves you so.
Why will you do without Him?
He calls and calls again—
“Come unto Me! O now come!”
O, shall He call in vain?
He wants to have you with Him;
Do you not want Him too?
You cannot do without Him,
And He wants even you.
