Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: Joseph Hoskins, 1789.
Music: "Wareham," William Knapp, 1738
Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
That leads the soul away from God;
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine,
To live and die entirely Thine.
On Christ, by faith, I fain would live,
From Him my life, my all, receive,
To Him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve Him alone with all my powers.
Christ is my everlasting All;
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my every want supply
In time and through eternity.
Soon will the Lord, my Life appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here,
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain.
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through every golden street,
And sing on every blissful plain:
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
