Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.496

First Line: Oh, what shall I do to be saved,

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 ?

2 Oh, what shall I do to be saved,
When the pleasures of youth are all
And the friends I have loved [fled :
From the earth are removed,
And I weep o'er the graves of the dead?

3 Oh, what shall I do to be saved,
When sickness my strength shall subdue ;
Or the world in a day,
Like a cloud, rolls away,
And eternity opens to view ?

4 O Lord, look in mercy on me,
Come, come, and speak peace to my
Unto whom shall I flee, [soul !
Blessed 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 I
