Author: Elizabeth Reed Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #275 (1970) First Line: Oh, do not let the Word depart Lyrics: 1 O do not let the Word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light!
Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
Be saved, oh, tonight!
Chorus:
Oh, why not tonight?
Oh, why not tonight?
Wilt thou be saved?
Then why not tonight?
2 Tomorrow’s sun may never rise
To bless thy long deluded sight.
This is the time, oh, then be wise,
Be saved, oh, tonight! [Chorus]
3 Our Lord in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite?
Renounce at once thy stubborn will.
Be saved, oh, tonight! [Chorus] Topics: Invitation Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, do not let the Word depart]
