How Blessed, from the Bonds of Sin (EN 4328)

EN 4328 How Blessed, from the Bonds of Sin

John.12.26

Versi Version 1

1

How blessed, from the bonds of sin

And earthly fetters free,

In singleness of heart and aim,

Thy servant, Lord, to be;

The hardest toil to undertake

With joy at Thy command,

The meanest office to receive

With meekness at Thy hand.

2

With willing heart and longing eyes

To watch before Thy gate,

Ready to run the weary race,

To bear the heavy weight;

No voice of thunder to expect,

But follow calm and still;

For love can easily divine

The One Beloved’s will.

3

Thus may I serve Thee, gracious Lord;

Thus ever Thine alone,

My soul and body given to Thee,

The purchase Thou hast won;

Through evil or through good report

Still keeping by Thy side;

And by my life or by my death

Let Christ be magnified.

4

How happily the working days

In this dear service fly,

How rapidly the closing hour,

The time of rest, draws nigh,

When all the faithful gather home,

A joyful company;

And ever where the Master is

Shall His blest servants be.
