Henry Walford Davies - Lord it belongs not to my care - текст песни (слова)

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.
