What Have I Done for the Savior?

Violet E. King • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 21:28

Verse 1

What have I done for the Savior? I ask when the day is done; Oh, what have I done to merit The love of that mighty One? Who left the bright courts of glory To suffer and die for me; Who gave himself as a ransom, That from sin I might be free.

Chorus

What have I done for the Savior, My great Redeemer and Lord? What have I done to inherit The joys of the great reward?

Verse 2

What have I done for the Savior? Whose glorious work divine Hath wrought a change so wondrous In this happy heart of mine? And whose ever blessed spirit My wandering feet shall guide; If within his saving mercy, I shall trustingly bide.

Chorus

What have I done for the Savior, My great Redeemer and Lord? What have I done to inherit The joys of the great reward?

Verse 3

What have I done for the Savior? For all of his wond’rous love, He who has promised a mansion In yon bright heaven above? What have I done? ah! but little, Oh, nothing at all to repay For all the wonderful kindness Bestowed upon me each day.

Chorus

What have I done for the Savior, My great Redeemer and Lord? What have I done to inherit The joys of the great reward?
