Hymn - Oh Why Not Tonght

Oh, Why Not Tonight

By Elizabeth H. Reed

 

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

 

Refrain

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

 

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

 

Refrain

 

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

 

Refrain

 

Our blessèd Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Believe on Him, the work is done,
Be saved, O tonight.
