Oh, What Wilt Thou Do?

lyricist: Lottie Newman, 1895
Composer: Harry Jones

Oh

what wilt thou do

When the night com­eth on

When day­light is fad­ing

And hope near­ly gone;

When fears shall op­press thee

And dark bil­lows roll

Oh

tell me

what then

Wilt thou do with thy soul?

What wilt thou do?

What wilt thou do?

Oh

tell me

what then

Wilt thou do with thy soul?

Oh

what wilt thou do

When the tide ris­eth high

When life is de­part­ing

And death draw­eth nigh;

The vain things of earth

Have no pow­er to con­sole;

Oh

tell me

what then

Wilt thou do with thy soul?

Oh

what wilt thou do

In the great judg­ment day

When Heav­en and earth shall

Have all passed away;

When thy doom is sealed

And the death knell shall toll

Oh

tell me

what then

Wilt thou do with thy soul?

Oh

fly to the re­fuge

While still there is time

While God of­fers par­don

And heal­ing di­vine;

There

safe in that shel­ter

Sweet peace shall con­trol;

For then ev­er­more

’Twill be well with thy soul.

Haste while there’s time

Haste while there’s time

For then ev­er­more

’Twill be well with thy soul.
