7306. What Will You Do with Jesus? (Norton)

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

Refrain
Then what you will do with Jesus?
Oh, what shall the answer be?

2. Oh, what will you do with Jesus?
The call comes loud and clear;
The solemn words are sounding
In every listening ear;
Immortal life’s the question,
And joy through eternity; [Refrain]

3. Oh, 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; [Refrain]
