God Calling Yet

Gerhard Tersteegen (1735) • Sarah B. Findlater (1855) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 6:3

Verse 1

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 slumber lie?

Verse 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?

Verse 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?

Verse 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!

Verse 5

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.

Verse 6

AMEN.
