The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 ‎#515

515. O What Will You Do with Jesus?

1 O what will you do with Jesus?
The call comes loud and sweet;
As tenderly He bids you
Your burdens lay at His feet;
O soul so sad and weary,
That sweet voice speaks to thee;
Then what you will do with Jesus?
O what shall the answer be?

Refrain:
What shall the answer be?
What shall the answer be?
What you will do with Jesus?
O what shall the answer be?

2 O what will you do with Jesus?
The call comes loud and clear;
The solemn words are sounding
In ev'ry list’ning ear;
Immortal life’s in the question,
And joy thro' eternity;
Then what you will do with Jesus?
O what shall the answer be? [Refrain]

3 O think of the King of Glory
From heav’n to earth come down,
His life so pure and holy,
His death, His cross, His crown;
Of His divine compassion,
His sacrifice for thee;
Then what you will do with Jesus?
Oh, what shall the answer be? [Refrain]
