Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
O do not let the word depart, And close thine eyes against the light; Poor sinner, harden not thy heart: Be saved, O tonight.
Verse 2
Tomorrow's sun may never rise To bless thy long deluded sight; This is the time, 0 then be wise: Be saved, O tonight.
Verse 3
Our blessed Lord refuses none Who would to Him their souls unite; Believe, obey, the work is done: Be saved, O tonight.
Chorus
O why not tonight? (not tonight? why not tonight?) O why not tonight? (not tonight? why not tonight?) Wilt thou be saved, (Wilt thou be saved?) Then why not tonight? (not, O why not tonight?)
