MY WORK
BY PHŒBE CAREY
I have a daily cross to bear,
Like that my Saviour bore,
If I would follow in the way
His feet have gone before.
I have a sinful will to bend,
A heart to be subdued,
If I would reach the mount of faith
Where holiest men have stood.
I have to own before the world
My Saviour's wondrous grace,
If I would hear him own my name
Before the Father's face.
I have a holy life to live,
A life of love and prayer;
If I shall sit with saints and priests,
And wear the robes they wear.

I have a righteous death to d.e,
A death of triumph too,
If faith unfolds the eternal gates,
And Jesus leads me through.
Help me, O God, this work to do,
While yet it is to-day;
Help me to come to Thee through Him.
The Life, the Light, the Way!
A death of triumph too,
If faith unfolds the eternal gates,
And Jesus leads me through.
Help me, O God, this work to do,
While yet it is to-day;
Help me to come to Thee through Him.
The Life, the Light, the Way!
