Gloria Deo ‎#310

310. Halting, Lingering, Fearing, Longing

1 Halting, ling’ring, fearing, longing,
Why not heed the Spirit’s voice?
Holy thoughts within thee thronging,
Bid thee make the blessed choice.

Refrain:
Halt no longer! God is calling,
Listen to thy maker’s word;
At His feet obedient falling,
Choose this day to serve the Lord.

2 Lo, thy Saviour standeth pleading,
Waiting to bestow His grace;
Why wilt thou, His call unheeding,
Linger at the parting ways? [Refrain]

3 Lo, He comes! His trumpet sounding,
Calls the nations to His bar;
Angel myriads throng around Him,
Can’st thou meet thy Saviour there? [Refrain]
