As I Ought To Do

Author: Rollin Chauncey Ward Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I will work as I ought to work Refrain First Line: Blessed Lord, help me thus to do Lyrics: 1 Savior, when my life has ended, When my work on earth is done, When the angels have descended, To convey my spirit home, May my life be full of beauty, May I still be true to Thee, Standing at my post of duty, When the angels come for me. Refrain: When the angels come for me, I believe that I will see Spirit forms so bright and fair, As they hover in the air. 2 Savior, when my feet, so weary, Reach their journey’s end at last, Oft the road’s been sad and dreary, Many dangers I have passed, May my journey be victorious, May my life appear to Thee, Shining as my crown so glorious, When the angels come for me. [Refrain] 3 Savior, when my loved ones, weeping, And my friends are drawing near, Bending low and silence keeping, That my last words they may hear, May the life work I have given On Thine own fair record be Spotless as my robe in Heaven, When the angels come for me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I will work as I ought to work] Text Sources: Songs for Jesus No. 5 by Frank M. Graham (Greensboro, GA: 1914)
