12. Something for Jesus

1 O, to do something for Jesus,
Who suffered and died for me;
To love him and serve him, my Savior,
And uphold him where'er I may be.
O, to do something just something,
That perishing sinners around
May come to the fountain of mercy,
Where life and salvation are found.
O, to do something for Jesus,
Who suffered and died for me;
To love him and serve him, my Savior,
And uphold him where'er I may be.

2 O, to do something for Jesus,
To go where he points the way,
And do with my might, in his service,
Whatsoever my hands find to do;
Always to speak at his bidding
Or hush when he whispers "be still;"
In patience to wait his approval,
In firmness to follow his will.
O, to do something for Jesus,
Who suffered and died for me;
To love him and serve him, my Savior,
And uphold him where'er I may be.

3 O, to do something for Jesus,
Be it only a little mite,
A look or a smile for the Master
Or a stand for the truth and the right;
Holding my light to the window,
That someone may welcome its rays,
Repeating my songs of thanksgiving
That some one may join me in praise.
O, to do something for Jesus,
Who suffered and died for me;
To love him and serve him, my Savior,
And uphold him where'er I may be.
