But settle the quest­ion to­night.
Poor sinner, harden not your heart,
Believe; why delay?
The kings of the east are rid­ing
Where Je­sus is ev­er the light.
Where Je­sus is ev­er the light.
The fest­al day has come;
When the song of the an­gels is sung.
Wilt thou be saved?
To rest where no fears can an­noy.
Dreams of a land mine eyes shall see,
Thou’rt just on the bor­ders of Ca­naan,
Then pray for your boy to­night!
For Thy hum­ble home be­low.
Whose foot­steps are not known,
You long for peace and rest,
Ah, what a welcome for th’ Eternal Guest!
Light of the world, we ce­le­brate
the hopes and fears of all the years
And give me strength to al­ways do my part.

Tonight

Tonight Je­sus pleads with thee;
O why not tonight?
O why not tonight?
The sun­set glows di­vid­ing,
And those who are crowned with the blest;
And those who are crowned with the blest;
In the great up­per room.
On the snow­flakes which cov­er thy sod,
Tomorrow’s sun may nev­er rise
The sum­mons for me to come home;
Land where the glo­ri­fied will be,
Flee the dan­ger, the dan­ger,
Pray God to give your boy the light,
In that ho­ly land ab­ove,
Is wait­ing—at Thy throne.
The Sav­ior loves you dear­ly,
Is e’en itself my cause to hail Thee in;
And teach our lit­tle ones of Thee
For Christ is born of Mary
And I so gent­ly close my eyes in sleep,
