Grieve Not the Spirit

Author: Charlotte G. Homer Hymnal: The Gospel Chorus #38 (1902) First Line: Thou art not very far from the kingdom Refrain First Line: Grieve not the Spirit away Lyrics: 1 Thou art not very far from the kingdom; Almost thou’rt persuaded today; Thy heart has been touched by the gospel, O grieve not the Spirit away. Refrain: Grieve not the Spirit away, Grieve not the Spirit away; Thou art not very far from the kingdom, O grieve not the Spirit away. 2 Thou art not very far from the kingdom, But halting, His voice to obey, While angels are watching and waiting, O grieve not the Spirit away. [Refrain] 3 Thou art not very far from the kingdom, Just over the border astray; Yet still is the voice interceding, O grieve not the Spirit away. [Refrain] 4 Thou art not very far from the kingdom; Decide! there’s no time for delay; Accept Him, believe Him, receive Him, O grieve not the Spirit away. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Thou art not very far from the kingdom]
