HYMN 171. What shall we do?
1 O Lord, what shall poor Sinners do Who dead in sin do lie, And must eternal sorrow know, If in that state they die?
2 O praised be thy holy Name Thou hast a way found out To save us from eternal shame, And life to work about.
3 O then shall some this day so hear, That they may Life obtain! Let them to Jesus Christ draw near, And so be born again,
4 Or else they will i'th' Judgment-day Condemned ever be, And on them thou wilt thy wrath pour To all eternity.
