What Shall I Do to Be Saved?

Verse 1

Oh, 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? Oh, what shall I do to be saved?

Verse 2

Oh, 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? Oh, what shall I do to be saved?

Verse 3

Oh, 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? Oh, what shall I do to be saved?

Verse 4

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.
