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.
|
|
If life be long, O make me glad
The longer to obey;
If short, no labourer is sad
To end his toilsome day.
|
|
Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
And he that to God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.

358
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?
|
|
Then I shall end my sad complaints
And weary, sinful days,
And join with the triumphant saints
That sing my Savior's praise.
|
|
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.
