Text: | Lord, it belongs not to my care |
Author: | Richard Baxter |
Tune: | ARCADIA |
Composer: | Thomas Hastings |
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,
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 soar to endless day?
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
No one into His kingdom comes,
But through His opened door,
But through His opened door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessèd face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be!
What will Thy glory be!
Amen.
