Author: R. Baxter Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #552 (1920) 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, O make me glad
The longer to obey;
If short, no labourer is sad
To end his toilsome day.
3 Christ leads me thro' no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
And he that to 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 my Saviour'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. Topics: General Home and Personal Use Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY TRINITY
