Almost Persuaded

Philip P. Bliss  

Eb Ab      Eb      Cm  Bb   Eb
"Almost persuaded" now to believe;

Eb Ab              Bb          Eb
"Almost persuaded" Christ to receive:

Ab                     Eb    Bb          Eb
Seems now some soul to say, "Go, Spirit, go Thy way, 

             Ab      Eb  Eb/Bb   Bb   Eb
Some more convenient day On Thee I'll call."


"Almost Persuaded," come, come today;
"Almost Persuaded," turn not away:
Jesus invites you here, An-gels 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!
