Let Thoughtless Thousands Choose

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.

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 powers.

Christ is my ev­er­last­ing All;

To Him I look

on Him I call;

He will my ev­ery want sup­ply

In time and through eter­ni­ty.

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 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.
