1. O do not let the Word depart,
  And close thine eyes against the light:
  Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
  Be saved, O tonight.
(Chorus:)
  O why not tonight?
  O 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, O then be wise,
  Be saved, O tonight.
3. Our Lord in pity lingers still,
  And wilt thou thus His love requite?
  Renounce at once thy stubborn will,
  Be saved, O tonight.
(Chorus:)
  O why not tonight?
  O why not tonight?
  Wilt thou be saved?
  Then why not tonight?
4. Our blessed Lord refuses none
  Who would to Him their souls unite;
  Believe on Him, the work is done.
  Be saved, O tonight.
