“Almost persuaded”
now to believe;
“Almost persuaded”
Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say,
“Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day
On Thee I’ll call.”
“Almost persuaded,”
come, come today;
“Almost persuaded,”
turn not away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are lingering near
Prayers rise from hearts so dear;
O wanderer, come!
Oh, be persuaded!
Christ never fails--
Oh, be persuaded!
His blood avails--
Can save from every sin,
Cleanse you without, within--
Will you not let Him in?
Open the door!
“Almost persuaded,”
harvest is past!
“Almost persuaded,”
doom comes at last!
“Almost” cannot avail;
“Almost” is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter wail—
“Almost,” but lost!
