What Will You Do With Jesus?

What Will You Do With Jesus?

I had never heard of this hymn before but we sang it the other night at home group.

What will you do with Jesus? Albert B. Simpson, 1891.

Jesus is standing in Pilate’s hall,
Friendless, forsaken, betrayed by all;
Hearken! what meaneth the sudden call?
What will you do with Jesus?

Refrain:

What will you do with Jesus?
Neutral you cannot be;
Some day your heart will be asking,
“What will He do with me?”
Jesus is standing on trial still,
You can be false to Him if you will,
You can be faithful through good or ill:
What will you do with Jesus?

Refrain

Will you evade him as Pilate tried?
Or will you choose Him, whate’er betide?
Vainly you struggle from Him to hide:
What will you do with Jesus?

Refrain

Will you, like Peter, your Lord deny?
Or will you scorn from His foes to fly,
Daring for Jesus to live or die?
What will you do with Jesus?

Refrain

“Jesus, I give Thee my heart today!
Jesus, I’ll follow Thee all the way,
Gladly obeying Thee!” will you say:
“This I will do with Jesus!”

Refrain

As I’ve played it over and over in my head these last few days it’s been a good reminder of what Christmas is all about. If you have not decided what to do with Jesus, I hope you will take a moment to stop running and make a decision for Christ today. If you have loved ones who have not made that decision I hope you will stop right now and say a prayer for them.

2 Corinthians 6:2…behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)

Finding Joy in the Journey — and wishing you all the richest blessings of our Lord and Savior—Jesus Christ.

    Thank you for the song. I’ve never heard that one either, but definately will be checking it out. I have several older hymnals, so hopefully one will have it. From your comment above you had a blessed Christmas. Trust the New Year is filled with your knowing God’s faithfulness and goodness.

      I’ve already had the merriest of Christmases – Spent a day with my sister, whom I never see enough of, and my 3rd great grandchild was born on the 21 and I’ve had time with her for the last 2 days. Elle was born at about 5 PM and weighs 5 pounds 13 ounces and is very precious. There are a couple of photos on my FB is you want to see them. We took dozens more so I’ll be uploading them asap.
