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?

Oh, what shall I do to be saved,
When the pleasures of youth are all
And the friends I have loved
From the earth are removed, fled:
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?

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

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

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

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