| Text: | Why Not Be Saved Tonight? |
| Author: | H. L. |
| Tune: | [Why are you straying away from the Lord] |
| Composer: | Haldor Lillenas |
1 Why are you straying away from the Lord?
Why not be saved tonight?
Little of pleasure the world can afford;
Why not be saved tonight?
Chorus:
Why not, why not,
Why not be saved tonight?
Throw open to Jesus the doors of your heart;
Why not be saved tonight?
2 How can you longer your Master deny?
Why not be saved tonight?
Give Him your heart e’er this day passes by;
Why not be saved tonight? [Chorus]
3 Long He has pleaded and waited in vain;
Why not be saved tonight?
Shall He be turned from your heart’s door again;
Why not be saved tonight? [Chorus]
4 Portals of mercy swing open to you;
Why not be saved tonight?
Your opportunities may be but few;
Why not be saved tonight? [Chorus]
5 God’s Holy Spirit will not always strive;
Why not be saved tonight?
Lest you forever should Him from you drive,
Why not be saved tonight? [Chorus]
