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 lingering near,
Prayers rise from hearts so dear;
O wanderer, 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!'
