A Collection of Familiar and Original Hymns and Tunes #d4
1 All unseen the Master walketh
By the toiling servant's side;
Wondrous words of life He speaketh,
While His hands uphold and guide.
Refrain:
Grief, nor pain, nor any sorrow
Rends thy heart, to Him unknown,
He today and He tomorrow
Grace sufficient gives His own.
2 When thy loved ones cross the border,
Jesus is the link between
They can gaze upon His glory,
Thou can'st on His bosom lean. [Refrain]
3 Holy strivings nerve and strengthen,
Long endurance wins the crown;
When the ev’ning shadows lengthen,
Thou shalt lay thy burden down. [Refrain]
