"Almost persuaded" now to believe;
|
|
| 1. | "Almost persuaded" now to believe; |
| | "Almost persuaded" Christ to receive; |
| | Seems now some soul to say, |
| | "Go, Spirit, go Thy way, |
| | Some more convenient day |
| | On Thee I'll call." |
| 2. | "Almost persuaded" come, come |
| | today; |
| | "Almost persuaded", turn not away; |
| | Jesus invites you here, |
| | Angels are ling'ring near, |
| | Prayers rise from hearts so dear; |
| | O wand'rer come! |
| 3. | Oh, be persuaded! Christ never fails - |
| | Oh, be persuaded! His blood avails - |
| | Can save from every sin, |
| | Cleanse you without, within - |
| | Will you not let Him in? |
| 4. | "Almost persuaded," harvest is past! |
| | "Almost persuaded," His blood avails - |
| | "Almost" cannot avail; |
| | "Almost" is but to fail! |
| | Sad, sad that bitter wail - |
| | "Almost - but lost!" |
| 5. | Be now persuaded, oh, sinner, hear! |
| | Be now persuaded, Jesus is near; |
| | His voice is pleading still, |
| | Turn now with heart and will, |
| | Peace will your spirit fill - |
| | Oh, turn today! |
