119. What Will You Do?

1 What if the watchman should cry aloud;
And proclaim the day of judgment near?
What would you do if you heard him say,
“You must at the judgment bar appear?”
What would you do?
What would you do?
Say, What would you do?
What would you do if you heard him say,
“You must at the judgment bar appear?”

2 What will you do on that dreadful day,
As before the Judge you trembling wait?
What will you do if the door is shut,
And you hear it said “too late, too late?”
What will you do?
What will you do?
Say, What will you do?
What will you do if the door is shut,
And you hear it said, “too late, too late?”

3 What will you do in that sad, sad hour,
When the Judge has said, “depart” to thee?
What will you do as He turns you back,
If your soul is lost eternally?
What will you do?
What will you do?
Say, What will you do?
What will you do as He turns you back,
If your soul is lost eternally?
