Seems now some soul to say,
go spirit, go thy way
On thee I'll call.
ssAlmost persuaded, come, come, to-day ;
"Almost persuaded" turn not away.
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are lingering near,
PRAYERS rise from hearts so dear;
o, wand'rer come!
eAlmost persuaded, harvest is past!
almost persuaded" doom comes at last
"Almost" cannot avail;
"Almost" is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter vail
'sAlmost But LOST -
