Almost persuaded now to believe
Author: Philip Paul Bliss (1838-76) Appears in 739 hymnals Topics: The gospel Invitation 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 sure to fail,
Sad, sad, that bitter wail,
Almost-but lost.
Almost persuaded now to believe
Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast
Author: Jones Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 702 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve;
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve:
2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sins
Like mountains round me close;
I know his courts: I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess;
I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone,
Without his sovereign grace.
4 Perhaps he will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But if I perish, I will pray,
And perish only there.
5 I can not perish if I go:
I am resolved to try;
For if I stay away, I know
I must for ever die. Scripture: 2 Kings 7:3-5

O you must be a lover of the Lord,
Or you can’t go to heaven when you die!
2 Return, O wanderer, return,
He hears thy humble sigh;
He sees thy softened spirit mourn
When no one else is nigh.
3 Return, O wanderer, return,
Thy Saviour bids thee live;
Come to his cross, and grateful learn
How freely he’ll forgive.
O you must be a lover of the Lord
Come home, come home

Watching for you and for me!
Refrain:
Come home, come home!
Ye who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
2 Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?

Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me!
Come home, come home
