31. Settle it To-Day

1 This wonderful question of questions
Comes often to you and to me,
For Christ or the world we are choosing,
O, which, brother, which shall it be?

Refrain:
This wonderful question of questions,
O settle it all today;
Like Mary the better part choosing,
To Jesus committing your way;
This wonderful question of questions,
O settle it all today.

2 The broad road of sin lies before you,
Inviting it seemeth today,
But better, far better, tho’ rugged,
With Jesus, the straight, narrow way. [Refrain]

3 So long on the wide ocean tossing
With billows of doubt and unrest,
Cast over the anchor and trust him,
And enter the haven so blest. [Refrain]

4 Let nothing now hinder your coming,
To linger you cannot afford;
Give over your fearing and strugg’ling,
Sink into the will of your Lord. [Refrain]
