Do Something for Jesus

Author: A. F. Myers Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 4 #194 (1900) First Line: Go out in the highways and hedges Refrain First Line: Do something for Jesus today Lyrics: 1 Go out in the highways and hedges, And gather the wanderers in; Persuade them to come and seek mercy Of Jesus who’ll pardon their sin. Refrain: Do something for Jesus today, Do something for Jesus today, Be faithful and true, Your life journey thro’; Do something for Jesus today. 2 Go earnestly, plead with the wayward, And help them to enter the fold; Do something, my brother, for Jesus, For you He bore sorrows untold. [Refrain] 3 Oh, testify freely for Jesus, Yield fully to His sweet control, Tell others the hope that you cherish, And blessings that gladden your soul. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 14:23 Languages: English Tune Title: [Go out in the highways and hedges]
