As Thy Day, Thy Strength Shall Be

As thy days thy strength shall be!

This should be enough for thee

He who knows thy frame will spare

Burdens more than thou canst bear.

When thy days are veiled in night

Christ shall give thee heav­en­ly light;

Seem they wea­ri­some and long

Yet in Him thou shalt be strong.

Cold and win­try though they prove

Thine

the sun­shine of His love;

Or

with fer­vid heat op­pressed

In His sha­dow thou shalt rest.

When thy days on earth are past

Christ shall call thee home at last

His re­deem­ing love to praise

Who hath strength­ened all thy days.
