What Have I Done for Jesus?

Composer: Frederick Howard, 1909

Have I spok­en words of love

Or self­ish have I gone?

Have I made some black­ness white

Or sung a cheer­ful song?

Have I brought a smile of hope

Or wiped sad tears away?

Have I done a sin­gle thing

In Je­sus’ name to­day?

Father

in pe­ni­tence plead­ing

Forgiveness I ask not in vain;

Tomorrow

if spared thro’ Thy mer­cy

I’ll serve Thee again and again.

I’ll lift up the bruis­èd and fall­en

I’ll lead the blind to the light;

For to­day I’ve done no­thing for Je­sus—

Hold me close in Your arms to­night.

Have I held the Sav­ior’s face

Enshrined with­in my heart?

Have I lived for gain of gold

My life ab­sorbed in mart?

Have I vis­it­ed the sick

Their fev­er to al­lay?

Have I done a sin­gle thing

In Je­sus’ name to­day?

Father

in pe­ni­tence plead­ing

Forgiveness I ask not in vain;

Tomorrow

if spared thro’ Thy mer­cy

I’ll serve Thee again and again.

I’ll lift up the bruis­èd and fall­en

I’ll lead the blind to the light;

For to­day I’ve done no­thing for Je­sus—

Hold me close in Your arms to­night.

Traveler worn with wea­ry feet

Behold the Mas­ter’s face;

Sin-sick soul

all tem­pest torn

Repose in His em­brace;

Weary ones

heart-ach­ing ones

Behold

His is the way

Let me lead you to the Christ

In Je­sus’ name to­day.

Father

Thy name I have spok­en

I’ve walked close be­side Thee all day

I’ve clung to the hem of Thy gar­ment

In fear lest I lose my way.

I’ve told oth­ers that sweet old sto­ry

From Heav’n they’ve seen Thy light;

Today I’ve done some­thing for Je­sus

Let me rest in His arms to­night.
