What Should We Do Without Jesus?

What should we do with­out Je­sus?

What should we do all the day?

With no kind Sav­ior to guide us

No one to care if we stray?

What should we do when we’re wea­ry

No one to tell of our cares

No one to help when we’re tempt­ed

No one to an­swer our pray­ers?

What should we do without Je­sus?

When in af­flict­ion and pain—

No one to touch us and heal us

No one to make well again?

Life would be scarce­ly worth liv­ing

If the dear Lord were not near

Comforting us on life’s path­way

Filling our hearts with His cheer.

What should we do with­out Je­sus

When the death an­gel draws near

Silently tak­ing our loved ones

Those we have long held so dear?

Long would the days be

and lone­ly

Poor is the earth’s com­fort

and blind;

Then we are sure we should need Him

Jesus so low­ly and kind.

What should we do with­out Je­sus

When our life is here is all o’er—

No one to take us to Heav­en

No one to greet from that shore?

Think of a life that’s been wast­ed

Spent not in serv­ice to God!

What should we do with­out Je­sus

When laid to rest ’neath the sod?
