Representative Text

1 You must do something with Jesus,
You must do something tonight,
You must decide this great question,
You must do something tonight.

Refrain:
You must do something with Jesus,
You must do something tonight,
Will you reject? Or, will you accept?
You must do something tonight.

2 No neutral ground can be taken,
You must do something tonight,
You must be for or against Him,
You must do something tonight. [Refrain]

3 Jesus would have you receive Him,
You must do something tonight,
You must confess or deny Him,
You must do something tonight. [Refrain]

4 You must choose life or death’s darkness,
You must do something tonight,
These are the issues eternal,
You must do something tonight. [Refrain]

5 With God there is no tomorrow,
You must do something tonight,
Now you can have this salvation,
You must do something tonight. [Refrain]

After attending a revival meeting by Reuben Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (on a bicycle, he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander. Harkness was especially well known for his program The Music of the Cross, and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime.
