It Must Be Settled Tonight

It must be set­tled to­night

Tomorrow may be too late;

The an­gel of death may come

And seal for­ev­er my fate.

It must be set­tled to-night

I can no long­er wait

Peace with my God I now must have

Tomorrow may be too late.

A bur­den weighs my soul

I can no long­er bear;

Unless re­moved this night

’Twill sink me in­to des­pair.

It must be set­tled to-night

I can no long­er wait

Peace with my God I now must have

Tomorrow may be too late.

I can­not rest till peace

Enfolds me from above

Till my re­deem­er speaks to me

Assurance of His love.

It must be set­tled to-night

I can no long­er wait

Peace with my God I now must have

Tomorrow may be too late.

Oh

now I know ’tis done!

My peace is made with God;

My par­don’s found in Je­sus’ name

Thro’ faith in Je­sus’ blood.

Oh

now I know ’tis done!

Sweet joy per­vades my soul;

Peace with my God I now have found;

His blood hath made me whole.
