12837. Settle The Question

1 Oh, settle the question tonight, my brother!
Take courage and do the right;
Come out of the darkness and gloom of thy sin,
And walk in God’s beautiful light.

Refrain:
O settle the question tonight,
O settle the question tonight,
Wait not till tomorrow
To end thy soul sorrow,
But settle the question tonight.

2 Tonight the good Spirit is here, my brother!
Tonight Jesus pleads with thee;
Tonight call on God while His grace is so near,
Tonight go in peace and be free. [Refrain]

3 Tonight is the time to repent, my brother!
Tonight God is here in power;
Tonight is the time when the dear Lord will save,
Yes, this is salvation’s glad hour. [Refrain]

4 Go not from this temple tonight, my brother!
Rejecting the grace of God;
Stand up and confess all the sins of thy life,
And trust in that soul cleansing blood. [Refrain]
