Josiah Hopkins FOUNDATION-early American Melody; Caldwell, Union Harmony MALDWYN-Welsh melody, c. 1600 GOSHEN-German melody Delay Not, Delay Not, O Sinner, Draw Near } Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near; The waters of life are now flowing for thee; No price is demanded, the Saviour is here, Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus 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 to-day: 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, may take its sad fligh t; And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity's night. Delay not, delay not, the hour is at hand; The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall f ade; The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand; What power then, O sinner, shall lend thee its ai d?
