Alexander's Gospel Songs No. 2 ‎#6

6. So Near to the Kingdom!

1 So near to the kingdom of heaven,
But yet outside the gate!
Some day you plan to enter—
“Some day” may be too late!

Refrain:
So near to the kingdom, why hesitate?
So near to the kingdom, why longer wait?
Oh, enter before ’tis forever too late!
So near to the kingdom, so near!

2 So near to the kingdom of heaven!
Almost persuaded now
To trust the blessed Saviour,
Before His scepter bow. [Refrain]

3 So near to the kingdom of heaven!
Your friends are ent’ring in
To find the great salvation
That cleanseth from all sin. [Refrain]

4 So near to the kingdom of heaven,
Yet halting at the door!
Oh, shall your soul, thro’ doubting,
Be lost forevermore? [Refrain]
