The Gospel Awakening ‎#28

28. If Thou'lt Be Saved

1. O do not let the word depart,
Nor close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart;
If thou'lt be sav'd, why not tonight?

Chorus:
Why not tonight? why not tonight?
If thou'lt be saved, why not tonight?
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart,
If thoul't be saved, why not tonight?

2. Tomorrow's sun may never rise
To bless Thy long deluded sight;
This is the time! oh, then be wise;
If thou'lt be sav'd, why not tonight? [Chorus]

3. The world has nothing left to give,
It has no new, no pure delight;
Oh, try the life which Christians live;
If thou'lt be sav'd, why not tonight? [Chorus]

4. Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Then be the work of grace begun;
If thou'lt be saved, why not tonight? [Chorus]
