Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #474 (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book 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 welcome endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
He that unto God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet
Thy blessed 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 the triumphant saints
That sing Jehovah's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But it's enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him. Topics: Death Faithful unto; Death Faithful unto; Cares Rest from; The Christian Life The Inner Life; Service Of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FRANCES
