O do not let the Word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light,
Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
Be saved, O tonight?
O why not tonight?
O why not tonight?
Wilt thou be save?
Then why not tonight?
Tomorrow's sun may never rise
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, O then, be wise
Be saved, O tonight.
Our Lord in pity lingers still
And wilt thus His love requite?
Renounce at once thy stubborn will,
Be saved, O tonight.
Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Believe, obey, the work is done,
Be saved, O tonight.
