What wilt Thou have me to do, O Lord,
What wilt Thou have me to do?
Thou hast redeemed me, Thy right I own,
Thine are my pow'rs, my Savior, alone;
Thou hast for me such great things done.
Refrain
What wilt Thou have me to do?
What is the labor appointed me?
Where shall I labor for Thee?
What wilt Thou have me to do, O Lord,
What wilt Thou have me to do?
Is it to labor? I'll gladly go;
Is it to wait? then let it be so;
Only Thy will I ask to know;
Refrain
What wilt Thou have me to do, O Lord,
What wilt Thou have me to do?
Sing of Thy mercy Who died for me?
Tell the good news, salvation is free?
Say, shall I work or sing for Thee?
