Classic Poem

The patience of Job is a story old,
We marvel at this good man.
Yet infinitely greater God's patience is
Toward those who reject His plan.
He yearns and He pleads and He waits to save
The many — not just the few —
But some day His patience will have expired —
Say, will it hold out for you?

God's mercy and love are wonderful,
So tender that heart divine.
'Tis not in His plan that a single soul
In hell should be left to pine.
This human family He yearns to save;
He's calling, my friend, to you.
But we know that some day He will call no more —
Will His patience hold out for you?

God's Spirit, He says, will not always strive
On earth, in the hearts of men.
How grateful, my friend, you should be today
That you still hear His pleadings then.
Some day, oh how sad, you will know no more
That patience and love so true.
O sinner, today make your peace with Him,
While His patience holds out for you!
