Lord, it belongs not to my care

Lord, it belongs not to our care

Whether we die or live;

To love and serve Thee be our share,

And this Thy grace must give.

Christ leads us thro' no darker rooms

Than He went thro' before;

Whoever to God's kingdom comes,

Must enter by this door.

Come, Lord, when grace hath made us meet

Thy blessed face to see;

For if Thy work on earth be sweet,

What will Thy glory be?

There shall we end our sad complaints

And weary, sinful days;

And join with the triumphant saints

That sing Jehovah's praise.

Our knowledge of that life is small,

The eye of faith is dim;

But 'tis enough that Christ knows all

And we shall be with Him.

Amen.
