I would not ask for earthly store
Thou wilt my need supply;
But I would covet, more and more,
The clear and single eye,
To see my duty face to face,
And trust Thee, Lord, for daily grace.
Then shall my heart keep singing
While to the cross I cling;
For rest is sweet at Jesus' feet,
While homeward faith keeps winging,
While homeward faith keeps winging.
I care not for the empty show
That thoughtless worldings see;
But gladly do the best I know
And leave the rest with Thee.
Well satisfied that sweet reward
Is sure to those who trust the Lord.
Then shall my heart keep singing
While to the cross I cling;
For rest is sweet at Jesus' feet,
While homeward faith keeps winging,
While homeward faith keeps winging.
Whate'er the crosses mine shall be,
I would not dare to shun;
But only ask to live for Thee,
And that Thy will be done;
Thy will, O Lord, be mine each day,
While pressing on my homeward way.
Then shall my heart keep singing
While to the cross I cling;
For rest is sweet at Jesus' feet,
While homeward faith keeps winging,
While homeward faith keeps winging.
And when at last, my labour o’er,
I cross the narrow sea,
Grant, Lord, that on the other shore,
My soul may dwell with Thee;
And learn what here I cannot know,
Why Thou hast ever loved me so.
Then shall my heart keep singing
While to the cross I cling;
For rest is sweet at Jesus' feet,
While homeward faith keeps winging,
While homeward faith keeps winging.
