The New Christian Hymnal ‎#191

191. Almost Persuaded

1. "Almost persuaded," now to believe;
"Almost persuaded," Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say,
"Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day
On... Thee I'll call."

2. "Almost persuaded," come, come today;
"Almost persuaded," turn not away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are ling'ring near,
Prayers rise from hearts so dear,
O... wand'rer, come.

3. "Almost persuaded," harvest is past!
"Almost persuaded, doom comes at last!
"Almost" cannot avail;
"Almost" is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter wail,
"Almost," but lost.
