Have you done aught for Jesus

Have you done aught for Jesus
Who did so much for thee?
He left a royal palace
And died for you and me;
What have you done?
What have you done?
Oh, measure your life by His;
He tramped this world a stranger,
And day by day in danger;
Would you do that, my hearer,
For Him or one of His?

What have you given, brother?
God gave His only Son,
His whole lifetime to suffer
For sin, by death, atone;
What have you giv’n?
What have you giv’n?
Your children, your talents, all?
Give Him each golden moment,
As with bright gems you’ve sown it,
Your money, tho’ts and deeds all,
For His use evermore.

Have you left aught for Jesus,
Loved ones, houses or lands?
Great is the promise to us
A hundredfold return;
What have you left?
What have you left?
The world and its vanities?
He left a heaven’s glories
And joys, undreamed of by us;
Leave all, take your cross daily,
Follow Him evermore.
