Not Willing That Any Should Perish

Representative Text

1. Not willing that any should perish,
The Father who dwelleth above,
His creatures to save and to nourish,
Is waiting in patience and love.

Not willing that any should perish,
In pity and love let us go,
To seek, and to save, and to cherish
The lost ones who wander below.

Immanuel came from on high,
To seek, and to heal, and to save us,
On Calv’ry to suffer and die.

3. Not willing that any should perish,
The Spirit is pleading today
The Word He has given to teach us,
To guide in the heavenly way.

Apostles, and martyrs, and saints
Have given their all to reclaim us,
And cheerfully borne our complaints.
