What Shall I Do to Be Saved?

O! what shall I do to be saved

From the sor­rows that bur­den my soul?

Like the waves in the storm

When the winds are at war

Chilling floods of dis­tress o’er me roll.

What shall I do? what shall I do?

O! what shall I do to be saved?

O! what shall I do to be saved

When the plea­sures of youth are all fled?

And the friends I have loved

From the earth are re­moved

And I weep o’er the graves of the dead?

What shall I do? what shall I do?

O! what shall I do to be saved?

O! what shall I do to be saved

When sick­ness my strength shall sub­due?

Or the world in a day

Like a cloud roll away

And eter­ni­ty opens to view?

What shall I do? what shall I do?

O! what shall I do to be saved?

O! Lord

look in mer­cy on me

Come

O come and speak peace to my soul:

Unto whom shall I flee

Dearest Lord

but to Thee

Thou canst make my poor

brok­en heart whole.

That will I do! that will I do!

To Je­sus I’ll go and be saved!
