608. Let Thoughtless Thousands Choose the Road
Text transcribed from the Creative Commons text-only edition hosted by LutheranLibrary.org.
1. Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
That leads the soul away from God;
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine,
To live and die entirely Thine.
That leads the soul away from God;
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine,
To live and die entirely Thine.
2. On Christ, by faith, I fain would live,
From Him my life, my all, receive,
To Him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve Him alone with all my pow'rs.
From Him my life, my all, receive,
To Him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve Him alone with all my pow'rs.
3. Christ is my everlasting All;
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my ev'ry want supply
In time and thro' eternity.
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my ev'ry want supply
In time and thro' eternity.
4. Soon will the Lord, my Life, appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here,
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain.
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
Soon shall I end my trials here,
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain.
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
5. Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through every golden street,
And sing on every blissful plain:
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
Soon walk through every golden street,
And sing on every blissful plain:
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
