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 Ah, yield Him all: in Him confide:
Where but with Him doth peace abide?
Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven,
And let the spirit rise to heaven!
6 God calling yet!--I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart! Topics: The Church Year Tenth Sunday after Trinity ; The Church Year Tenth Sunday after Trinity ; Invitation Used With Tune: [God calling yet! shall I not hear?]
