Why Do You Wait?
Author: George F. Root Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 First Line: Why do you wait, dear brother Refrain First Line: Why not? Why not? Lyrics: 1 Why do you wait, dear brother,
Oh, why do you tarry so long?
Your Savior is waiting to give you
A place in His sanctified throng.
Chorus:
Why not? why not?
Why not come to Him now?
Why not? why not?
Why not come to Him now?
2 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. (Chorus)
3 Do you not feel, dear brother,
His Spirit now striving within?
Oh, why not accept His salvation,
And throw off your burden of sin? (Chorus)
4 Why do your wait, dear brother?
The harvest is passing away;
Your Savior is longing to bless you,
There are danger and death in delay. (Chorus)

soon the pearly gates will open,
we shall tread the streets of gold. [Refrain]

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though dust and ashes in thy sight,
we may, we must, draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer:
O grant us power to pray;
and, when to meet thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 God of all grace, we bring to thee
a broken, contrite heart;
give what thine eye delights to see,
truth in the inward part;
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, on Christ alone;
5 Patience to watch and wait and weep,
though mercy long delay;
courage our fainting souls to keep,
and trust thee though thou slay.
6 Give these, and then thy will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we, through thy Spirit and thy Son,
shall pray, and pray aright. Topics: Lent; Ash Wednesday; Proper 12 Year A Used With Tune: ST HUGH

We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope let men deride,
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! It takes our guilt away:
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light:
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above.

At the Lamb's High Feast
Not to the terrors of the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12 Lyrics: 1 Not to the terrors of the Lord,
The tempest, fire, and smoke:
Not to the thunder of that Word
Which God on Sinai spoke;
2 But we are come to Sion’s hill,
The city of our God,
Where milder words declare His will,
And spread His love abroad.
3 Behold th’innumerable host
Of angels clothed in light:
Behold the spirits of the just
Whose faith is changed to sight.
4 Behold the blest assembly there
Whose names are writ in heaven;
And God, the Judge of all, declare
Their sins, through Christ, forgiven.
5 Angels, and living saints, and dead
But one communion make:
All join in Christ their vital Head,
And of His love partake. Topics: The Church Triumphant
Not to the terrors of the Lord
