Shall I Be Saved Tonight?

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 14:22

Verse 1

Jesus is pleading with my poor soul, shall I be saved tonight? If I believe, He will make me whole, shall I be saved tonight? Tenderly, sadly, I hear Him say, How can you grieve Me from day to day? Shall I go on in the old, old way, or shall I be saved tonight?

Verse 2

Jesus was nailed to the cross for me, shall I be saved tonight? How can my heart so ungrateful be? Shall I be saved tonight? Now He will save me by grace divine. Now, if I will, I can call Him mine. Can I the pleasures of earth resign? Oh shall I be saved tonight?

Verse 3

Jesus is knocking at my poor heart, shall I be saved tonight? What if His Spirit should now depart? Shall I be saved tonight? Over and over His voice I hear, sweetly it falls on my listening ear, Shall I reject Him, a friend so dear? Oh shall I be saved tonight?

Verse 4

What if that voice I should hear no more, shall I be saved tonight? Quickly I’ll open this bolted door. Save me, O Lord, tonight. Blessèd Redeemer, come in, come in, pity my sorrow, forgive my sin. Now let Thy work in my soul begin, for I will be saved tonight.
