If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James 1:5
Words: Lanta W. Smith, 1898.

If you know where to get a good photo of Smith (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
There’s a voice that whispers
To the willing heart,
And its words so tender
Joy and peace impart;
When in doubt or trouble,
To your heart be true,
Hear the Spirit saying:
What would Jesus do?
Refrain
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus do?
Hear the Spirit saying:
What would Jesus do?
When some strong temptation
Holds you in its power,
When a fear of failure
Haunts each waking hour,
You can end the conflict
And your fears subdue,
If you heed the message,
What would Jesus do?
Refrain
Then no longer falter,
Then no longer fear,
Every path of duty
Will be bright and clear;
If you pray for wisdom,
It will come to you,
While the Spirit whispers,
What would Jesus do?
Refrain
