HYMN 435

S.S 640 (FE 459)
"Seeketh thou great things for 
thyself seek them not" - Jer. 14:5



1.  I would not ask for earthly store 

     Thou wilt my need supply

     But I would covet, more and more, 

     The dear and single eye

     To see my duty face to face

     And trust Thee, Lord for daily grace. 

Chorus:  Then shall my heart keep singing

               While to the cross I cling

               For rest is sweet at Jesus' feet 

               While homeward faith keeps winging (2ce)


2.  I care not for the empty shadow 

     That thought less worldlings see 

     But gladly do the best I know

      And leave the rest with Thee

     Well sat-is-fied that sweet reward 

     Is sure to those who trust the Lord.

Chorus:  Then shall my heart...


3.  What-e’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, Oh! Lord, be mine each day

     While pressing on my homeward way. 

Chorus:  Then shall my heart...


4.  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.

Chorus:  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.  Amen
