GOD CALLING YET.

By Sel.

“Unto you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.”
God calling yet! and shall I never hearken, But still earth’s witcheries my spirit darken? This passing life, these passing joys all flying, And still my soul in dreamy slumber lying.
God calling yet! and I not yet arising— So long his boundless, faithful love despising— So falsely his unwearied love repaying? He beckons still, and still I am delaying!
God calling yet! loud at my door is knocking! And I my heart, my ear, still firmer locking! He yet is willing, ready to receive me, Is waiting now—but ah! he soon may leave me.
God calling yet! and I no answer giving! I dread his yoke, and am in bondage living. Too long I linger, but, not yet forsaken— He calls me still, O my poor heart, awaken!
Surrender all, all to his care confiding; Where but with him are rest and peace abiding? Unloose, unloose, break earthly bonds asunder, And let this spirit rise in soaring wonder.
God calling yet! I can no longer tarry, Nor to my God a heart divided carry; O vain and giddy world, your spells are broken! Sweeter than all, the voice of God has spoken! —Sel.
