Oh, do not let the Word depart,
Nor close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart:
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not tonight?
Why not to-night? Why not to-night?
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not to-night?
To-morrow's sun may never rise,
To bless thy long-deluded sight;
This is the time! oh then, be wise!
Thou wouldst be saved — V try not tonight?
Why not to-night? Why not to-night?
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not to-night?
The world has nothing left to give —
It has no new, no pure delight:
Oh, try the life which Christians live!
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not tonight?
Why not to-night? Why not to-night?
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not to-night?
Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Then be the work of grace begun!
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not tonight?
Why not to-night? Why not to-night?
Thou wouldst be saved — Why not to-night?
