Text: | Oh, Why Not Tonight? |
Author: | Elizabeth Reed |
Tune: | [Oh, do not let the word depart] |
Composer: | J. Calvin Bushey |
1 Oh, do not let the word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
Be saved oh, tonight.
Refrain:
Oh, why not tonight?
Oh, why not tonight?
Wilt thou be saved?
Then why not tonight?
2 Tomorrow’s sun may never rise,
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, oh, then be wise,
Be saved oh, tonight. [Refrain]
3 Our Lord in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite?
Renounce at once thy stubborn will,
Be saved oh, tonight. [Refrain]
4 Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Believe, obey, the work is done,
Be saved oh, tonight. [Refrain]
