E              B7          E
Oh, do not let the Word depart,
     B7                           E

Poor sinner, harden not your heart,

Tomorrow’s sun may never rise

To bless thy long-deluded sight;

This is the time, oh, then be wise,
A    E    B7     E 
Be saved, oh, tonight.

Then why not tonight?


Inst: (Same as intro)

E                         B7
Our Lord in pity lingers still,
E
And wilt thou thus His love requite?
B7
Renounce at once thy stubborn will,
E
Be saved, oh, tonight.

E
Our blessed Lord refuses none
             B7          E
Who would to Him their souls unite;
           A     E
Believe on Him, the work is done,
B7        E
Be saved, oh, tonight.

E                     B7      E
Oh, why not tonight? (not tonight)

Oh, why not tonight? (not tonight)
          A    E
Wilt thou be saved?
A    E   B7      E 
Then why not tonight?
