1 The gospel message sounds abroad,
O come and find the light!
And dare you answer to your God
“I will not yield tonight!”

Refrain:
Why not tonight, oh, why not tonight?
The spirit soon may take its flight!
Come while the lamp of life is bright,
Be saved, be saved tonight.

2 Wait not a more convenient time,
God pleads with you this hour;
The bells of promise sweetly chime,
Come, prove salvation’s pow’r. [Refrain]

3 Sometime you mean to seek His face,
You know His claims are right;
Now, while He woos you by His grace,
Be saved—be saved tonight! [Refrain]

4 You want some day to enter in
The City of Delight;
Let Jesus wash away your sin—
Be saved—be saved tonight. [Refrain]
