Jesus is standing in Pilate’s hall,
Friendless, forsaken, betrayed by all;
Hearken! what meaneth the sudden call?
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
What will you do with Jesus?
Neutral you cannot be;
Some day your heart will be asking,
What will He do with me?
Jesus is standing on trial still,
You can be false to Him if you will,
You can be faithful through good or ill:
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
Will you evade Him as Pilate tried?
Or will you choose Him, whate’er betide?
Vainly you struggle from Him to hide:
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
Will you, like Peter, your Lord deny?
Or will you scorn from His foes to fly,
Daring for Jesus to live or die?
What will you do with Jesus?
Refrain
Jesus, I give Thee my heart today!
will you say:
Jesus, I’ll follow Thee all the way,
Gladly obeying Thee!
This I will do with Jesus!
Refrain
