Tune:[How: O how are you living, my brother]
Composer:R. M. McIntosh

125. How are you living?

1 How, O how are you living, my brother,
Are you going the pilgrimage way?
Are you doing the will of your master?
Are you living for Jesus to-day?

Refrain.
Are you living for Jesus to-day, to-day?
Are you living for Jesus to-day?
O tell me, my friend and my brother,
Are you living for Jesus to-day?

2 Earth will offer you pleasures, my brother,
Have you turned from these pleasures away?
Are you striving to work for the Master?
Are you living for Jesus to-day? [Refrain]

3 Sin will surely entice you, my brother,
Quickly turn from temptation away?
O then give all your life to the Master?
And be living for Jesus to-day? [Refrain]

4 You may grow cold and careless, my brother,
And from Christ and his following stray;
Are you watching, and praying, and trusting?
Are you living for Jesus to-day? [Refrain]
