Almost persuaded

“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!

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!”

Be now persuaded

oh

sinner

hear!

Be now persuaded

Jesus is near;

His voice is pleading still

Turn now with heart and will

Peace will your spirit fill—

Oh

turn today!
