75. Pleading With Thee

1 Almost persuaded, the Spirit now pleads,
Almost persuaded, and Christ intercedes;
Turn not away from the Spirit’s sweet call,
But come to the Savior and yield Him thy all.

Refrain:
Pleading with thee, He is pleading with thee,
The Savior is pleading, is pleading with thee;
Renounce ev’ry idol, tho’ dear it may be,
And come to the Savior, now pleading with thee.

2 Almost persuaded, O come, come away,
Almost persuaded, no longer delay;
Turn from the tempter, and break from his pow’r,
And come to the Savior, He’ll save you this hour. [Refrain]

3 Almost persuaded, O come, we implore,
Almost persuaded, resist Him no more;
Grieve not His Spirit, His love now receive,
For still He is waiting your sins to forgive. [Refrain]
