83. I Must Find Christ To-day

1 Long have I sought the heav'nly way!
How can I longer wait?
I must find Christ this very day,
Or it may be too late.

Chorus:
I must find Christ the Savior to-day,
I can no longer wait;
I must find Christ the Savior to-day,
Ere it shall be too late.

2 How can I rest with such a weight
Pressing upon my soul?
Here will I kneel at mercy's gate
Till he has made me whole. [Chorus]

3 Low at the cross in tears I bend,
Waiting for his sweet peace;
When will his grace and love descend,
When shall I have release? [Chorus]
