1.

Will you receive God’s salvation?
His gracious judgments embrace.
Judge yourself; hate what is carnal;
Never draw back in this race.

Chorus:

God’s grace is waiting;
With it you’ll grow in the light—
All your own humanness hating—
Judgments receive in His sight.

2.

Do you rejoice to hear others
Who by God’s Spirit are driv’n?
Or do you envy the brothers
Who grace from God have been giv’n?

3.

Do you in secret admire
All you for God do and give;
You help with needs and don’t tire,
But does your self-life still live?

4.

Were you unrighteously treated?
Don’t say, “O how could this be?”
Murmuring must be defeated.
Put it to death and be free.

5.

Run on the course set before you.
Heaven now beckons! Make haste!
Hope for the crown that awaits you!
Battle! There’s no time to waste.
