God calling yet; shall I not hear?

Earth’s pleasure shall I not hold dear?

Shall life’s swift passing years all fly,

And still my soul in slumber lie?

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?

God call yet; I cannot stay;

My heart I yield without delay’

Vain world, farewell! from you I part,

The voice of God has reached my heart.
