Text: | O Why Not Tonight? |
Tune: | [O do not let the world depart] |
Composer: | J. Calvin Bushby |
1 O do not let the world depart,
And close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner harden not your heart,
Be saved, O tonight.
Chorus:
O why not tonight?
O why not tonight?
Wilt those be sav'd?
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, O tonight. [Chorus]
3 Our Lord in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite?
Renounce at once thy stubborn will,
Be saved, O tonight. [Chorus]
4 Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Believe, obey, the work is done,
Be saved, O tonight. [Chorus]
