Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #374 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Care Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
No one into His kingdom comes,
But through His open'd door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blesséd face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be!
5 Then I shall end my sad complaints,
And weary, sinful days,
And join with all triumphant saints
Who sing my Jehovah's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small;
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him. Languages: English
