God calling yet! shall I not hear?

Earth’s pleasures shall I still hold dear?

Shall life’s swift passing years all fly,

And still my soul in slumbers lie?

2 God calling yet! shall I not rise?

Can I his loving voice despise,

And basely his kind care repay?

He calls me still: can I delay?

3 God calling yet! and shall he knock,

And I my heart the closer lock?

He still is waiting to receive,

And shall I dare his Spirit grieve?

4 God calling yet! and shall I give

No heed, but still in bondage live?

I wait, but he does not forsake;

He calls me still! my heart, awake!

5 God calling yet! I can not stay;

My heart I yield without delay;

Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;

The voice of God hath reached my heart.
