“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 ling' ring near,
Prayers rise from hearts so dear;
O wand'rer, come.
“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!”
