O Why Not Tonight?

4 verses · With chorus

Verse 1

O do not let the word depart, And close thine eyes against the light; Poor sinner, harden not your heart, Be saved, O tonight

Chorus

O why not to-night? O why not to-night? Wilt thou be saved? Then why not to-night?

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

Our Lord in pity lingers still, And with thou thus His love requite? Renounce at once thy stubborn will, Be saved, O tonight.

Verse 4

Our blessed Lord refuses none Who would to Him their souls unite; Believe, obey, the work is done, Be saved, O tonight.
