What Would You Give in Exchange?

Composer: J. H. Carr

Brother afar from the Sav­ior to­day

Risking your soul for the things that de­cay;

O if to­day God should call it away

What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

What would you give? What would you give?

What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

O if to­day God should call it away

What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

Mercy is call­ing you

won’t you give heed?

Must the dear Sav­ior still ten­der­ly lead?

Risk not your soul

it is pre­cious in­deed;

What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

More than the sil­ver and gold of the earth—

More than all jew­els thy spir­it is worth!

God

the Cre­at­or

has giv­en it birth!

What would you give in ex­change for your soul?

If

when you stand at the bar by and by

When you are weighed in the bal­ance on high

You should be sen­tenced for­ev­er to die!

What would you give in ex­change for your soul?
