Why Carelessly Wait?
Author: B. E. W. Meter: 7.7.7.5.7.7.7.5 with refrain Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: Oh, come to the Lord today Lyrics: 1 Oh, come to the Lord today,
Come, sinner, without delay;
Oh, give Him your heart, I pray,
Why carelessly wait?
Soon you will be called to die,
Poor soul, to the Savior fly;
You know that the end is nigh,
Why carelessly wait?
Refrain:
Why carelessly wait?
Why carelessly wait?
You know that the end is nigh,
Why carelessly wait?
2 Since there is no hope at last,
The day of God’s grace then past,
With mercy’s door closed and fast,
Why carelessly wait?
When, there at the judgment throne,
Your sins will all be made known,
There Satan will claim His own,
Why carelessly wait? [Refrain]
3 O soul, do not idly stand,
Unheeding the Lord’s command,
You’ll perish in sinking sand,
Why carelessly wait?
Your pulse will ere long be still,
In death will your blood soon chill;
Oh, hasten, obey God’s will,
Why carelessly wait? [Refrain]
4 Soon, soon in eternity,
Poor sinner, your soul shall be,
What then can atone for thee?
Why carelessly wait?
You’ll stand at the judgment seat,
Your record of sins you’ll meet;
Come bowing at Jesus’ feet,
Why carelessly wait?

Why, cruel Herod, dost thou fear
Why, Cruel Herod, Dost Thou Fear?
Author: Caelius Sedulius, 5th Century; Frederick C. Husenbeth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Why, cruel Herod, dost thou fear Lyrics: 1 Why, cruel Herod, dost thou fear,
Lest our great God and king appear?
He who can heav’nly crowns bestow
Comes not to seize thy throne below.
2 The wise men followed that bright star,
Which shone to them in realms afar;
While light itself by light they seek,
Their gifts, their faith and love bespeak.
3 The heav’nly Lamb the waters lave,
He sanctifies the crystal wave;
And He, whom sin could never stain,
Bids none upon our souls remain.
4 Behold a new display of might,
The pallid waters redden bright;
The mandate for the change once heard,
Wine flows obedient at the word.
5 Jesus, to Gentile kings displayed,
Glory to Thee and praise be paid,
With Father and with Holy Ghost,
Enthroned above the heav’nly host. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS Text Sources: "Hostis Herodes Impie" from "A Solis Ortus Cardine" by Sedulius; Breviarium Romanum, 1632; Tr.: Annus Sanctus (Vol. 1) by Orby Shipley (London and New York: Burns & Oates, 1884)
