Almost Persuaded

Author: P. P. B. Appears in 738 hymnals First Line: "Almost persuaded" now to believe; 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 heart 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!" Used With Tune: ["Almost persuaded" now to believe]

Mount of Thy redeeming love. 2 Here I'll raise my Ebenezer, Hither by Thy help I'm come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace now great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be!
