LyicsO, do not let the word depart,
And close thine eye against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart;
Thou wouldst be saved; who not to-night?
To-morrow's sun may never rise
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time; O, then be wise!
Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night?
Our God in pity lingers still;
And wilt thou thus his love requite?
Renounce at length thy stubborn will;
Thou wouldst be save; why not to-night?
Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to him their souls unite;
Then be the work of grace begun:
Thou wouldst be save; why not to-night?
