Ask Not To Be Excused

Ask Not To Be Excused

1 Ask not to be excused,
There’s earnest work to do;
Stand ready to be used
Where God may station you.
His invitation kind
To thee has oft been giv’n;
Accept, and thou shalt find
‘Tis sweet to work for Heav’n.

                Chorus

Come, O come!
Ask not to be excused;
Come, O come!
Stand ready to be used.
Ask not to be excused,
This answer may be giv’n:
Thou hast my love abused,
Thou art excused from heav’n.

2 Ask not to be excused,
The Master calls today;
Too long hast thou refused,
Now hasten to obey.
The harvest fields are white,
The laborers are few;
Let this be thy delight,
The Master’s work to do

                [Chorus]

3 Ask not to be excused,
There’s danger in delay;
That wondrous love abused,
Forever turns away.
While Mercy gently pleads
And points the way to heav’n,
While Jesus intercedes,
O come and be forgiv’n!

                 [Chorus]

057 – Usikatae Kazi
“Ask Not To Be Excused”

1
Usiikatae kazi yake Bwana; Ukae tayari kuifanya kazi;
Uende po pote Mungu akwitapo,
Nawe utaona furaha kazini

Chorus
Njoo, We! Usikatae; Njoo, We! Uifanye kazi;
Usiikatae kazi yake Bwana, Ili hatimaye usikatazwe juu.

2
Usiikatae kazi yake Bwana; Kwa nini kawia? Fanya kazi leo.
Mavuno meupe, Wachache wavuni,
Onyesha furaha Kwa kazi ya Bwana.

3
Usiikatae kazi yake Bwana; Kukataa pendo Kwako ni hatari.
Saa ya rehema, Yesu akiomba,
Ziungame dhambi, Zifutwe mbinguni.
