1 Tell me, pray tell me, what profit 'twill be,
O my dear friend, O my dear friend,
If the whole world should be given to thee,
And thou be lost in the end.
Refrain:
Silver and gold cannot save thee,
Tho' all the world fortune gave thee,
Riches untold cannot save thee,
Nothing but Jesus can save.
2 Silver and gold cannot wash thy soul white,
O my dear friend, O my dear friend,
God in the sinner can never delight;
What wilt thou do in the end? [Refrain]
3 Moments of pleasure will soon pass away,
O my dear friend, O my dear friend,
Soon, O so soon comes the great reck'ning day;
What wilt thou do in the end? [Refrain]
4 Hell and destruction before thee doth lie,
O my dear friend, O my dear friend,
Where wilt thou go when God calls thee to die? What wilt thou do in the end? [Refrain]
5 Angels are beck'ning, God's trumpet doth call,
O my dear friend, O my dear friend,
Make peace with God ere in death thou dost fall,
Then 'twill be well in the end. [Refrain]
