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;
Oh wand’rer, come.

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!
ALMOST PERSUADED.
