Take Thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill As best to Thee may seem; Choose Thou my good and ill. 3 Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. Not mine, not mine the choice In things or great or small; Be Thou my guide, my strength, My wisdom, and my all. Amen. Used With Tune: [Thy way, not mine, O Lord]

My life is hid in Jesus

Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Sickness, Death, and Burial Lyrics: 1 My life is hid in Jesus, And death is gain to me; Then, whensoe'er He pleases, I meet it willingly. 2 For Christ, my Lord and Brother, I leave this world so dim, And gladly seek that other, Where I shall be with Him. 3 My woes are nearly over, Though long and dark the road; My sin His merits cover, And I have peace with God. 4 Lord, when my powers are failing, My breath comes heavily, And words are unavailing, O hear my sighs to Thee! 5 When mind, and thought, O Saviour, Are flickering, like a light That to and fro doth waver, Ere 'tis extinguished quite; 6 In that last hour, O grant me To slumber soft and still, No doubts to vex or haunt me, Safe anchored on Thy will; 7 And so to Thee still cleaving Through all death's agony, To fall asleep believing, And wake in heaven with Thee. 8 Amen! Thou Christ, my Saviour, Wilt grant this unto me: Thy Spirit lead me ever, That I fare happily. Used With Tune: ABIDE WITH US, OUR SAVIOUR
