Why unbelieving? why wilt thou spurn
Love that so gently pleads thy return?
Come, ere thy fleeting day
Fades into night away;
Now mercy's call obey;
To Jesus come.
Why not, believing, come to the Lord?
Trust in the Savior, doubt not His word;
Think 'twas for thee He died,
Think of Him crucified;
Now to the Glorified,
To Jesus come.
Why unbelieving: thou canst be blessed,
Jesus will pardon, He'll give thee rest.
Why wilt thou longer wait?
Haste to the open gate,
Come ere it be too late,
To Jesus come.
Why unbelieving? trifle no more;
Death may be near thee, e'en at thy door.
Come with a broken heart,
Come helpless as thou art,
Come choose the better part,
To Jesus come.
