49. Why Not To-Night?

1 Oh, do not let the word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light,
Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
Be saved, be saved tonight.

Chorus:
Oh, why not to-night?
Oh, why not come tonight?
Wilt thou be saved?
Oh, why not come tonight?

2 Tomorrow's sun may never rise,
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, oh, then, be wise,
Be saved, be saved tonight. [Chorus]

3 Our Lord in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite;
Renounce at once they stubborn will,
Be saved, be saved tonight. [Chorus]

4 Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite,
Believe, obey, the work is done,
Be saved, be saved tonight. [Chorus]
