Author: Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #275 (2011) Meter: Irregular Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal First Line: "Almost persuaded" now to believe Lyrics: 1 “Almost 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.”
2 “Almost persuaded,” come, come today;
“Almost persuaded,” turn not away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are lingering near,
Prayers rise from hearts so dear;
O wanderer, come.
3 “Almost persuaded,” harvest is past!
“Almost persuaded” doom comes at last!
“Almost” cannot avail;
“Almost” is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter wail,
“Almost,” but lost!
