The Tabernacle Hymns ‎#141

141. Answer the Question Now

1 Have you reached the brink tonight,
Where you make the final choice?
Cast your lot with God and right,
Answer yes to Jesus’ voice.

Refrain:
Why not answer the question now?
Why not answer the question now?
Will you come and as a sinner bow?
Why not answer the question now?

2 If you leave this sacred place,
And the world’s gay hand you clasp,
Having spurned the Savior’s face,
There’s no other hope to grasp. [Refrain]

3 What has sin to profit by?
Ruined lives and blasted homes;
Tho’ you gain the world and die,
After death the judgment comes. [Refrain]

4 There’s a life you need to save,
And a soul of worth no less;
If you’d shun a Christless grave,
You must meet the question, yes. [Refrain]
