[E]
Oh do not let the word depart, and [B] close thine eyes [E] against the light.
For sinner heart and doctor heart, be slain, O do not.
Oh why not tonight, not tonight, not tonight.
Oh [B] why not tonight, not tonight, [E] not tonight.
Well thy son, then why [B] not tonight.
The morrow sun may never rise,
He keeps my heart at its side.
Is this the time, oh then be wise,
[A] Be [E] slain, [B] O do not.
Oh why not tonight, not tonight, not tonight.
Oh why [B] not tonight,
[E] [E] not tonight.
Is this the time, oh then be wise,
Our lord and king linger still,
And wilt thou thus his love qualify,
[B] Remounts at once thy stubborn will,
[E] Be slain, O do not.
Our blessed lord refuses none,
Who would to him their souls unite,
Believes, obeys, the word is done,
[B] Be slain, [E] O do not.
Oh why [B] not tonight, not [E]
tonight, not tonight.
Oh [B] why not tonight, not tonight, not tonight.
Will thou hear me say, then why not, why not tonight.
Oh do not let the word depart, and [B] close thine eyes [E] against the light.
For sinner heart and doctor heart, be slain, O do not.
Oh why not tonight, not tonight, not tonight.
Oh [B] why not tonight, not tonight, [E] not tonight.
Well thy son, then why [B] not tonight.
The morrow sun may never rise,
He keeps my heart at its side.
Is this the time, oh then be wise,
[A] Be [E] slain, [B] O do not.
Oh why not tonight, not tonight, not tonight.
Oh why [B] not tonight,
[E] [E] not tonight.
Is this the time, oh then be wise,
Our lord and king linger still,
And wilt thou thus his love qualify,
[B] Remounts at once thy stubborn will,
[E] Be slain, O do not.
Our blessed lord refuses none,
Who would to him their souls unite,
Believes, obeys, the word is done,
[B] Be slain, [E] O do not.
Oh why [B] not tonight, not [E]
tonight, not tonight.
Oh [B] why not tonight, not tonight, not tonight.
Will thou hear me say, then why not, why not tonight.
