Lord, What Wilt Thou Have Me to Do?

lyricist: M. G. Danforth, 1874
Composer: Zimri Parvin

I came un­to Him in the morn­ing

When the day was fresh and fair;

Today I will work in Thy vine­yard

Was my heart’s out­gush­ing pray­er.

What wilt Thou have me to do

Lord?

Oh

what wilt Thou have me to do?

What wilt Thou have me to do

Lord?

Oh

what wilt Thou have me to do?

I came in the ear­ly morn­ing

As the sun be­gan to shine

And now

and now it is ev­en­ing

And the fruit still bends the vine.

What have I done for Thee

Lord?

Oh

what I have done for Thee?

What have I done for Thee

Lord?

Oh

what I have done for Thee?

I came un­to Him in the seed­time

When the spring was green and new

Saying

I will sow with Thy serv­ants

For the la­borers are but few.

What wilt Thou have me to do

Lord?

Oh

what wilt Thou have me to do?

What wilt Thou have me to do

Lord?

Oh

what wilt Thou have me to do?

I came un­to Him in the seed­time

In the time of the burst­ing leaves

And now

and now it is har­vest

And where

oh where are my sheaves?

What have I done for Thee

Lord?

Oh

what have I done for Thee?

What have I done for Thee

Lord?

Oh

what have I done for Thee?
