  *++Lyrics:|\\
"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!\\
\\
