Why do you wait, dear brother,
Oh, why do you tarry so long?
Your Saviour is waiting to give you
A place in His sanctified throng.

Refrain

Why not? Why not?
Why not come to Him now?
Why not? Why not?
Why not come to Him now?

What do you hope, dear brother,
To gain by a further delay?
There’s no one to save you but Jesus,
There’s no other way but His way.

Refrain

Why do your wait, dear brother?
The harvest is passing away,
Your Saviour is longing to bless you,
There are danger and death in delay.

Refrain
