"What Then?"

"He is counting on you."

He has need of your life

In the thick of the strife;

For that weak one may fall

If you fail at His call.

He is counting on you,

If you fail Him — What then?

"He is counting on you."

 

On your silver and gold,

On that treasure you hold;

On that treasure still kept,

Though the doubt o'er you swept.

"Is this gold not all mine?"

"Lord, I knew it was Thine."

He is counting on you,

If you fail Him — What then?

"He is counting on you."

 

On a love that will share

In His burden of prayer;

For the souls He has bought

With His life-blood; and sought

Through His sorrow and pain

To win "Home" yet again.

He is counting on you,

If you fail Him — What then?

"He is counting on you."

 

On life, money and prayer;

And "the day shall declare"

If you let Him have all

In response to His call;

Or if He in that day,

To your sorrow must say,

"I had counted on you,

But you failed Me" — What then?

"He is counting on you."

 

Oh! the wonder and grace,

To look Christ in the face

And not be ashamed;

For you gave what He claimed,

And you laid down your all

For His sake — at His call.

He had counted on you,

And you failed not — What then?”

—Bessie Porter Head.
