| Text: | Oh, Why Not To-Night? |
| Tune: | [Oh, do not let the world depart] |
| Composer: | J. Calvin Bushey |
1 Oh, do not let the World depart,
And close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
Be saved, oh, to-night.
Chorus:
Oh, why not to-night?
Oh, why not to-night?
Wilt thou be saved?
Then why not to-night?
2 Tomorrow’s sun may never rise
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, oh, then be wise,
Be saved, oh, to-night. [Chorus]
3 Our Lord in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite?
Renounce at once thy stubborn will,
Be saved, Oh, to-night. [Chorus]
4 Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Believe, obey, the work is done,
Be saved, oh, to-night [Chorus]
