Chorus

What shall it profit a man, What shall it profit a man, If he gain the whole world, And lose his own soul?

Verse 1

Not all earth's gold and silver Can make a sinner whole; What shall it profit thee, O man, If thou should'st lose thy soul?

Verse 2

The heaping up of riches To many seems life's goal; But in the eager rush for wealth, Forgotten is the soul.

Verse 3

This solemn question answer; Is worldly gain thy goal? Can fleeting riches be compared To an immortal soul?
