Settle It Now with Jesus

Settle it now with the Sav­ior

Settle the quest­ion to­day;

While He so ten­der­ly lin­gers

Why should you long­er delay?

Over your soul now His Spir­it

Broods like a gen­tle dove;

Open your heart to re­ceive Him;

Trust Him and know His love.

Settle with Je­sus;

Settle the quest­ion to­day.

Say to Him

Je­sus

re­ceive me

Take Thou my sins away.

Long has He sought you in mer­cy

Long has He knocked at your door;

Will you again re­fuse Him

Bid Him de­part once more?

Look on His thorn scar­rèd fore­head

Look at His wound­ed side!

See how your sins have bruis­ed Him;

Yes

’twas for you He died.

Why not give Him that bur­den

Which you have borne so long?

You are so weak and wea­ry

He is so lov­ing and strong.

Why with your­self be still stri­ving

Restless and ill at ease?

Jesus will teach you His sec­ret

Jesus will give you peace.

Now is the time ac­cept­ed

Now is sal­va­tion’s day;

See how life’s swift fly­ing sea­sons

Gather and van­ish away!

Fainter

still faint­er

un­heed­ed

Echoes His yearn­ing call;

Settle the quest­ion with Je­sus

Settle it

once for all.
