Author: R. E. H. Hymnal: Gospel Jewels #51 (1890) First Line: What shall it profit me by and by Lyrics: 1 What shall it profit me by and by?
What shall it profit me then,
If, by my toil, the whole world I should gain,
Spending my strength on its treasures so vain,
Trusting not Him who for sinners was slain,
What shall it profit me then?
2 What shall it profit me by and by?
What shall it profit me then,
If, in a world of enjoyment and show,
On in the path of its pleasures I go,
Caring not, seeking not Jesus to know,
What shall it profit me then?
3 What shall it profit me by and by?
What shall it profit me then,
If I renounce all my idols to-day,
Walk with my Lord, from His side never stray,
Love Him, and serve Him, and trust Him alway,
What shall it profit me then?
4 Yes, it will profit me by and by!
Yes, it will profit me then,
I shall be robed in a garment of white,
Dwell in the mansions of glory and light,
Gaze on the face of my Savior so bright,
Oh, it will profit me then! Languages: English Tune Title: [What shall it profit me by and by]
