LORD, IT BELONGS NO TO MY CARE

1. Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve You is my share,
And this Your grace must give.

2. If life be long, I will be glad,
That I may long obey;
If life be short, should I be sad
to rise to endless day?

3. Christ leads me thru' no darker room
Than He went thru' before;
He who into God's Kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.

4. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Your blessed face to see,
For if Your work on Earth be sweet,
What will Your glory be?

5. Then I shall end my sad complaints
And weary, sinful days,
And join with those triumphant saints
Who sing Jehovah's praise.

6. My knowledge of that life is small;
The eye of faith is dim,
But it's enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him. (RCH 549)
