Author: H. Bonar Hymnal: Revival Praises #49 (1907) First Line: Oh, do not let the word depart Refrain First Line: Oh, why not to-night? Lyrics: 1 Oh, do not let the word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light,
Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
Be saved, be saved tonight.
Chorus:
Oh, why not to-night?
Oh, why not come tonight?
Wilt thou be saved?
Oh, why not come tonight?
2 Tomorrow's sun may never rise,
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, oh, then, be wise,
Be saved, be saved tonight. [Chorus]
3 Our Lord in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite;
Renounce at once they stubborn will,
Be saved, be saved tonight. [Chorus]
4 Our blessed Lord refuses none
Who would to Him their souls unite,
Believe, obey, the work is done,
Be saved, be saved tonight. [Chorus]
Tune Title: [Oh, do not let the word depart]
