132. Almost Persuaded

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!"
