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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
