O Why Not Tonight?

Verse 1

O do not let the word depart, And close thine eyes against the light; Poor sinner, harden not your heart; Be saved, O tonight.

Chorus

O why not tonight? O why not tonight? Wilt thou be saved? Then why not tonight?

Verse 2

Tomorrow’s sun may never rise To bless thy long deluded sight; This is the time, O then be wise, Be saved, O tonight.

Verse 3

Our Lord in pity lingers still, And wilt thou thus His love requite? Renounce at once thy stubborn will, Be saved, O tonight.

Verse 4

Our blessed Lord refused none Who would to Him their souls unite; Believe, obey, the work is done; Be saved, O tonight.
