Representative Text

1. "It must be settled tonight,
Tomorrow may be too late;"
The angel of death may come,
And seal forever my fate.

Chorus:
It must be settled tonight,
I can no longer wait,
Peace with my God I now must have,
Tomorrow may be too late.

2. A burden weighs my soul
I can no longer bear;
Unless removed this night,
'Twill sink me into despair.
[Chorus]

3. I cannot rest till peace
Enfolds me from above,--
'Till my redeemer speaks to me
Assurance of his love.
[Chorus]

4. Oh, now I know 'tis done!
My peace is made with God;
My pardon's found in Jesus' name,
Thro' faith in Jesus' blood.
[Chorus]
