1 Oh, do not let the Word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light.
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart,
Thou wouldst be saved,—why not tonight?
2 Our God in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite?
Renounce at once Thy stubborn will.
Thou wouldst be saved,—why not tonight?
3 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?
4 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?
