LyicsDelay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near;
The waters of life are now flowing for thee;
No price is demanded, the Savior is here,
Redemption is purchased--salvation is free.
Delay not, delay not! why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus our Lord?
A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood?
Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come;
For Mercy still lingers, and calls thee today;
Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb;
Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away.
Delay not, delay not! the Spirit of grace,
Long grieved and resisted, entreats thee to come;
Beware lest in darkness thou finish thy race
And sink to the vale of eternity's gloom.
Delay not, delay not! the hour is at hand,
The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade,
The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand;
What power then, O sinner shall lend thee its aid?
