Brother afar from the Sav­ior to­day,
Risking your soul for the things that de­cay;
O if to­day God should call it away,
What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

Refrain

What would you give? What would you give?
What would you give in ex­change for your soul?
O if to­day God should call it away,
What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

Mercy is call­ing you, won’t you give heed?
Must the dear Sav­ior still ten­der­ly lead?
Risk not your soul, it is pre­cious in­deed;
What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

Refrain

More than the sil­ver and gold of the earth—
More than all jew­els thy spi­rit is worth!
God, the Cre­at­or, has giv­en it birth!
What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

Refrain

If, when you stand at the bar by and by,
When you are weighed in the bal­ance on high,
You should be sen­tenced for­ev­er to die!
What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

Refrain
