Almost Persuaded
Words and Music by Philip P. Bliss
1871

Acts 26:28
"... Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian."

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