Settle the Question

Charles Price Jones • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 39:7

Verse 1

Jesus is calling, sinner, to you; Settle the question, what will you do? Will you now heed the voice of His love? O do no longer obstinate prove.

Chorus

O will you hear the gospel's sweet call? Will you to Christ in penitence fall? Will you accept His proffers of grace, Entering now the kingdom of peace?

Verse 2

Settle the question, death is at hand; Judgment approaches, where will you stand? When the great Judge in wrath shall appear, Where will you stand, O wicked one, where?

Chorus

O will you hear the gospel's sweet call? Will you to Christ in penitence fall? Will you accept His proffers of grace, Entering now the kingdom of peace?

Verse 3

Settle the question, settle it now, Christ with the crown of thorns on His brow, Offering pardon thro' His heart's blood, Pleads with you now to turn unto God.

Chorus

O will you hear the gospel's sweet call? Will you to Christ in penitence fall? Will you accept His proffers of grace, Entering now the kingdom of peace?

Verse 4

Settle the question, why will you die? God His salvation now, bringeth nigh; Danger and death are found in delay; Would you be saved? then why not today?

Chorus

O will you hear the gospel's sweet call? Will you to Christ in penitence fall? Will you accept His proffers of grace, Entering now the kingdom of peace?
