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