1 Why will you do without Him,
Is He not kind indeed?
Did He not die to save your soul?
Is He not all you need?

Why will you, why will you,
Why will you do without Him?
Why will you, why will you,
Why will you do without Him?

2 Why will you do without Him,
Hark! hear Him call again!
“Come unto Me! Come unto Me!”
O shall He call in vain?

Why will you, why will you,
Why will you do without Him?
Why will you, why will you,
Why will you do without Him?

3 What will you do without Him
When death is drawing near,
Without His love—the only love
That casts out every fear?

What will you, what will you,
What will you do without Him?
What will you, what will you,
What will you do without Him?

4 What will you do without Him,
When He hath shut the door,
And you are left outside, because
You would not come before?

What will you, what will you,
What will you do without Him?
What will you, what will you,
What will you do without Him?

5 You cannot do without Him!
There is no other name,
By which you ever can be saved,
No way, no hope, no claim!

You cannot, you cannot,
You cannot do without Him!
You cannot, you cannot,
You cannot do without Him!

6 You cannot do without Him!
God’ word is ever true;
The world is passing to its doom—
And you are passing too!

You cannot, you cannot,
You cannot do without Him!
You cannot, you cannot,
You cannot do without Him!
