- Oh! I often sit and ponder,
When the sun is sinking low,
Where shall yonder future find me,
Does but God in Heaven know
Shall I be among the living,
Shall I mingle with the free,
Where so e’er my path be leading
Saviour, keep my heart with Thee.
Chorus:
Oh, the future lies before me,
And I know not where I’ll be,
But wheree’er my path be leading,
Saviour, keep my heart with Thee.
- Shall I be at work with Jesus,
Whilst He leads me by the hand,
And to those around be saying,
Come and join this happy band.
Come for all things now are ready,
Come His faithful followers be,
Oh wheree’er my path be leading,
Saviour, keep my heart with Thee. - But perhaps my work for Jesus,
Soon in future may be done.
All my earthly trials ended,
And my crown in heaven won,
Then forever with the ransom’d
Thro’ eternity I’d be.
Chanting hymns to Him who bought me,
With His Blood shed on the tree.
