Hymnal: Tabernacle Hymns #67 Topics: Invitation 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 ling'ring near, Prayers rise from heart so dear, O wand'rer, 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.

Refrain: Come and be saved, come and be saved, Take the cross and you shall wear a starry crown. 2 There’s conviction in thy heart That from sin you should depart, Oh, that monitor in mercy do obey; ’Tis a canker in thy breast That will never let thee rest, If you do not turn from sin’s destructive way. [Refrain] 3 Jesus came, the Son of God, Shed for you His precious blood, Oh, behold Him dying on the cursed tree! Can you slight His love so true, Holding out a crown for you? Hasten, sinner, Christ is calling loud for thee. [Refrain] 3 Jesus comes in melting love, Drawing you to joys above, Gently knocking for admittance in thy soul; Harken to His voice within, Warning thee to flee from sin, To the kingdom of the Savior’s sweet control. [Refrain] 4 Heaven wills to thee a crown, Hell is moved to cast thee down, And this moment may decide thy endless state; Father, Son, and Spirit call, Reason, conscience, thunder all, Sinner, wake and turn to God before too late. [Refrain] Scripture: Zechariah 8:13 Tune Title: [Listen, sinner, to the voice]
