IVE DONE MY WORK
Ive done my work, Ive sung my song,
Ive done some good, Ive done some wrong,
And I shall go where I belong;
The Lord has willed it so.
He knows my heart and every thought.
He knows what pain and joy Ive brought;
";
And by His love I shall be taught
The way to Him I know.
. -.,
He knows my soul so weak and blind,
So full of fear of mortal mind
And He will lead and I shall find
The way to Him I know.
He guides my steps, and He knows best
He will not harm, where He is blest.
And so goodnight, Ill take my rest
Where sweet wild roses grow.
