Words & Music: (1865-1936).

If you know when this song was writ­ten


Almost, but still I resisted,
Almost but never believed;
Almost, but waited and waited,
Till the sweet Spirit was grieved.

Refrain

Now is the time to receive Him,
Now is the time to be saved;
Now, while the Spirit is pleading,
Now, Jesus waiteth to save.

Almost at one time I yielded,
Almost at one time was saved;
Almost, but drifted and drifted,
Satan thus held me enslaved.

Refrain

Almost, why longer refuse Him?
Almost, O lost one, believe;
Almost, swing open thy heart’s door,
Jesus the Savior receive.
