What shall I do, then, with Je­sus?
As said Pon­ti­us Pi­late of old,
The world has so much to please us,
Of ho­nors, of sil­ver and gold.

Refrain

What shall I do? What shall I do?
The quest­ion is old, and ’tis new;
In sick­ness, in death and the judg­ment,
O, then, what with me shall He do?

What shall I do, then, with Je­sus?
Forsaken, and suf­fer­ing, and sold,
When life is full of dis­eas­es,
And I am for­sak­en and old?

Refrain

What shall I do, then, with Je­sus?
Who died on the cross and for sin,
Who else can com­fort or lead us,
When bil­lows of death doth roll in?

Refrain

What shall I do, then, with Je­sus?
When in the great day I shall stand,
Shall it be with un­be­liev­ers?
Or joy­ful­ly at His right hand?
