Acts 22:16: Why should I longer stay

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Why should I longer stay
And not my Lord receive?
To-day while it is call'd to-day
He would the pardon give;
Convinced I all things need,
Wretched and blind and poor,
I nothing have to pay or plead,
And mercy asks no more.
