Author: Mrs. Elizabeth Reed Hymnal: Laudes Domini #284 (1888) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: Oh, do not let the Word depart Lyrics: 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 to-night?
2 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; why not to-night?
3 Our God in pity lingers still;
And wilt thou thus his love requite?
Renounce at length thy stubborn will;
Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night?
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 to-night? Topics: Access to God; Delay Scripture: James 4:14 Languages: English Tune Title: ASHWELL
"Why not to-night!"
