226 ALMOST PERSUADED
[V1]
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.”

[V2]
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!

[V3]
Almost persuaded; harvest is past!
Almost persuaded; doom comes at last!
“Almost” can not avail, “Almost” is but to fail!
Sad, sad that bitter wail-“Almost, - but lost!”
