Hymn 178 - Almost Persuaded

“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."

“Almost persuaded,” come, come today,

“Almost persuaded,” turn not away;

Jesus invites you here, Angels are ling’ring near,

Prayers rise from hearts so dear; O wand’rer, come!

“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!
