Decide Tonight

Author: W. A. S. Appears in 26 hymnals 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] Scripture: 1 Kings 18:21 Used With Tune: [Some go away from the house tonight]
