Lyrics

What would Je­sus have you do,
Youthful sol­diers, brave and true?
How would He the tempt­er meet?
How would He the foe de­feat?

Refrain

What would Je­sus have you do,
Jesus, dai­ly watch­ing you?
Follow Him along the way,
Look to Je­sus day by day.

What would Je­sus do to­day?
Would the Sav­ior turn away?
Would He not be kind in­deed,
Glad to help in time of need?

Refrain

In the Word of God so true,
Jesus shows you what to do;
If you ask Him, He will hear,
He will make the du­ty clear.

Refrain

Lay up trea­sure far above,
Walk with Je­sus Christ in love;
Every day your pledge re­new,
Do what Christ would have you do?
