What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?
Matthew 27:22
Words: William F. Allen, in The Lighthouse in Gospel Song, edited by John D. Patton (Birmingham, Alabama: J. D. Patton, 1910).
Music: John O. Beall (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Allen (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Beall,
The Lord on trial stands today,
Awaits to hear what you will say;
You treat none else in such a way—
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
What will you do with Jesus?
Will you be false or true?
Shall friends one day be asking,
What will He do with you?
Our Savior will be tried by all,
Just like He was in Pilate’s hall;
What is your answer to this call—
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
O why not enter now His fold?
He pleads for you, both young and old;
His love for you has oft been told—
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
Will you still longer Him deny,
And as of old, condemn to die?
Or will you say, Lord, here am I
?
That’s what I’ll do with Jesus!
Refrain
