O Why Not Tonight?

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 saved?

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 thou thus His love re­quite?

Renounce at once thy stub­born will

Be saved

O to­night.

Our bless­èd Lord re­fus­es none

Who would to Him their souls unite;

Believe on Him

the work is done

Be saved

O to­night.
