The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#251

251. O do not let thy Lord depart

1 O do not let thy Lord depart,
And close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart;
Thou wouldst be saved, why not tonight?

2 Tomorrow’s sun may never rise
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, O then, be wise;
Thou wouldst be saved, why not tonight?

3 Our God in pity lingers still;
O wilt thou thus his love requite?
Renounce at length thy stubborn will;
Thou wouldst be saved, why not tonight?

4 Our blessèd Lord refuses none
Who would to him their souls unite;
Then be the work of grace begun;
Thou wouldst be saved, why not tonight?
