God calling yet! shall I not hear?
Earth’s pleasures still shall I hold dear?
Shall passing years glide swiftly by,
And still my soul in slumber lie?

God calling yet! shall I not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise?
His mercy basely thus repay?
He calls me still: shall I delay?

God calling yet! and shall He knock,
While I my heart the closer lock?
Still He is waiting to receive,
Shall I His love, His Spirit, grieve?

God calling yet! shall I then give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
Not yet doth He my soul forsake:
He calls me still! my heart, awake!

God calling yet! I can not stay:
My heart I yield without delay!
Vain world, farewell! from thee I part!
Thy voice, O God, hath reached my heart!
