(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
This song is a simple yet tricky one to play/sing. The melody makes sense, but both my fingers and voice wanted to change it in places
1
Why do you wait, dear brother,
O 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 not?
Why not? Why not?
Why not come to Him not?
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?
O why no accept His salvation
And throw off your burden of sin?
CHORUS
4
Why do you wait, dear brother?
The harvest is passing away;
Your Savior is longing to bless you,
There’s danger and death in delay.
CHORUS
At The Rainbow
