Decide Tonight

Verse 1

Some go away from the house to-night, Purified from sin; Others reject the precious light, and go away unclean; Lovingly still the Savior stands, Pleading with thy heart; Patiently knocks with His bleeding hands, Unwilling to depart.

Chorus

Going away from Christ to-night, Away from His loving care; Going away from blessed light, To darkness and despair.

Verse 2

Some will go out form the house to-night, Harden'd by delay, Yielding to satan's luring snare, Will hopeless turn away; Nevermore shall the Spirit plead At the bolted door; Now is the hour of thy soul's great need, 'T is now or nevermore.

Verse 3

Some will go out from the house to-night, Full of trust in God, Happy in heart, made pure and white, By Jesus' precious blood; Go not away, poor wand'rer stay Till thou too art free! Walking with Christ life's happy way, Most blessed shalt thou be.

Verse 4

Waiting a moment more for thee, Jesus still entreats; Soon will the knocking ended be, That now thy closed heart beats, Stay, sinner, stay at Mercy's door, Seek the open gate; Sinner, decide, lest hope be o'er, And thou shouldst be too late.
