Tune:[Almost persuaded now to believe]
Composer:J. H. Rosecrans

153. Hold Up Your Hands For Jesus

1 "Almost persuaded" now to believe;
Hold up your hands for Jesus;
"Almost persuaded" Christ to receive;
Hold up your hands for Jesus;

Chorus:
Hold up your hands while He is passing by;
Hold up your hands, for He is drawing nigh;
Hold up your hands, for why will ye die?
Hold up your hands for Jesus.

2 "Almost persuaded," come, come today;
Hold up your hands for Jesus;
"Almost persuaded," turn not away;
Hold up your hands for Jesus. [Chorus]

3 "Almost persuaded," harvest is past,
Hold up your hands for Jesus;
"Almost persuaded," doom comes at last,
Hold up your hands for Jesus. [Chorus]
