Why not To-night?

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Living Hymns #191 (1890) First Line: Oh! do not let the Word depart Refrain First Line: Why not to-night? why not to-night? Lyrics: 1 Oh! do not let the Word depart, Nor close thine eyes against the Light, Poor sinner, harden not your heart, Thou would'st be saved, why not to-night? Refrain: Why not to-night? why not to-night? Thou would'st be saved, why not to-night? 2 To-morrow’s sun may never rise To bless thy long-deluded sight, This is the time, oh, then, be wise! Thou would'st be saved, why not to-night? [Refrain] 3 Our God in pity lingers still, And wilt thou thus his love requite? Renounce at length thy stubborn will, Thou would'st be saved, why not to-night? [Refrain] 4 The world has nothing left to give, It has no new, no pure delight; Oh, try the life which Christians live, Thou would'st be saved, why not to-night? [Refrain] 5 Our blessed Lord refused none Who would to him their souls unite, Then be the work of grace begun, Thou would'st be saved, why not to-night? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh! do not let the Word depart]

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Why not To-night?" in Living Hymns In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
