<poem> | |||
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, I will be glad | |||
That I may long obey: | |||
If short, yet why should I be sad | |||
To soar to endless day. | |||
Christ leads us through no darker rooms | |||
Than He went thro' before; | |||
He that unto God's kingdom comes | |||
Must enter by this door. | |||
Come Lord, when grace has made me meet | |||
Thy blessed face to see; | |||
For if Thy work on earth be sweet, | |||
What will Thy glory be! | |||
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. | |||

English text
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, I will be glad
That I may long obey:
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day.
Christ leads us through no darker rooms
Than He went thro' before;
He that unto God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
Come Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be!
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.
