Almost Persuaded

1Almost persuaded now to believe,
Almost persuaded Christ to receive,
Seems now some soul to say, "Go,
Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day On Thee I'll call."

2Almost persuaded, come, come, today:
Almost persuaded; turn not away.
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are ling'ring near,
Pray'rs rise from hearts so dear;
O wand'rer come!

3Almost persuaded; harvest is past;
Almost persuaded; doom comes at last! "Almost" can not avail, "Almost" is but to fail!
Sad, sad that bitter wail— "Almost,— but lost!"
