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.
