In the Book Which Thou Art Keeping

In the book which Thou art keep­ing

In Thy Book of Life so fair

Tell me

O my Sav­ior

tell me

Is my name re­cord­ed there?

Is it there? Is it there?

In Thy Book of Life so fair?

Tell me

O my Sav­ior

tell me

Is my name re­cord­ed there?

Lighter far the dai­ly tri­als

That my wea­ry heart must bear

Lighter far my toil and la­bor

If I knew my name was there.

Is it there? Is it there?

In Thy Book of Life so fair?

Tell me

O my Sav­ior

tell me

Is my name re­cord­ed there?

Tho’ I oft have failed in du­ty

Yet my faith still clings to Thee;

When Thou mak­est up Thy jew­els

Will my name re­mem­bered be?

Is it there? Is it there?

In Thy Book of Life so fair?

Tell me

O my Sav­ior

tell me

Is my name re­cord­ed there?

Let me hear Thy lov­ing Spir­it

Softly whis­per

All is well

That my name in light is shin­ing

Where I soon with Thee shall dwell.

Yes

’tis there

yes

’tis there

In Thy Book of Life so fair;

I be­lieve

O bless­èd Sav­ior

That my name is writ­ten there.

When from earth my thoughts are wing­ing

To the heav’nly man­sions fair

Let me feel the sweet as­sur­ance

That my hum­ble name is there.

Yes

’tis there

yes

’tis there

In Thy Book of Life so fair;

I be­lieve

O bless­èd Sav­ior

That my name is writ­ten there.
