Through tin and through sorrow I have waited for thee; I have wept and entreated— Yet thou lovest not Me. • Thy pathway through lifo Has been marked with much care ; And sickness and tria's Have been sent thee to bear. I tent them as warnings— I sent them to thee ; Yet, sinner, thou knowest Thou lovest not Me. And the shadows of midnight Are skirting the sky ; And wrath is impending— God's wrath from on high ; And mercy— free mercy— Rejected by thee, Is drawing down judgment— Yet, thou lovest not Me. Say, wande'er, say, Shall I leave thee alone ? Shall I let thee go on, As the choice is thine own ? I have warned, I have mourned, I have wept over thee; I have bled, I have died— Yet thou lovest not Me. Ah ! come to thy Saviour ! Come, weary one, come; Though thy siu be as crimson, Yet for thee there is room. Tarry not, linger not, I am waiting for thee ; To save thee, to bless thee— Though thou lovest not Me. I ask thee for nothing— Como just as thou art; Come sinful— come guilty— Come give Me thine heart; The fountain is open, It is open to thee, Let thy Saviour not sav— " Thou lovest not Me." BEV. F.
