Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night? 3 Our God in pity lingers still; And wilt thou thus his love requite?

Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 196 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 18:21 Lyrics: 1 Once to ev'ry man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth and falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new messiah, Off'ring each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, Toiling up new Calv'ries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet the truth alone is strong, Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own.

Decide Tonight

Author: W. A. S. Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 18:21 First Line: Some go away from the house tonight Refrain First Line: Going away from Christ tonight Lyrics: 1 Some go away from the house tonight, Purified from sin; Others reject the precious light, And go away unclean; Lovingly still the Savior stands, Pleading with thy heart; Patiently knocks with his bleeding hands, Unwilling to depart. Chorus: Going away from Christ tonight, Away from his loving care; Going away from blessed light, To darkness and despair. 2 Some will go out from the house of pray’r, Harden’d by delay, Yielding to Satan’s luring snare, Will hopeless turn away; Nevermore shall the Spirit plead At the bolted door; Now is the hour of thy soul’s great need, ‘Tis now or nevermore. [Chorus] 3 Some will go out from the house tonight, Full of trust in God, Happy in heart, made pure and white, By Jesus’ precious blood; Go not away, poor wand’rer, stay Till thou too art free! Walking with Christ life’s happy way, Most blessed shalt thou be. [Chorus] 4 Waiting a moment more for thee, Jesus still entreats; Soon will the knocking ended be, That now thy closed hearts beats; Stay, sinner, stay at Mercy’s door, Seek the open gate; Sinner, decide lest hope be o’er, And thou shouldst be too late. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Some go away from the house tonight]
