Author: Peter Philip Bilhorn Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11789 First Line: "Not tonight," so many say Refrain First Line: Come tonight, O come tonight Lyrics: 1 "Not tonight," so many say,
And turn from light and life away,
Alas! for some ’twill be too late;
Another night may seal their fate.
Refrain:
Come tonight, O come tonight,
Jesus lovingly doth wait;
Come tonight, O come tonight,
Some other night may be too late.
2 "Not tonight," a man replied,
And turned with careless laugh aside,
But death called loud that very night;
His soul in terror took its flight. [Refrain]
3 "Not tonight! "O trembling heart,
Why longer bid thy Lord depart?
Why will you choose that bitter lot
To hear Him say, "I know you not!" [Refrain]
4 "Not tonight," O sad reply,
When Christ to save you waiteth nigh,
The day of grace may soon be past,
Your cry will be lost, lost at last! [Refrain}
5 "Not tonight," count well the cost,
Should you forevermore be lost?
If Heav’n and bliss you never see,
Where will you spend eternity? [Refrain]
