228 ~ Almost Persuaded
1
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.”
2
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!
3
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!”
