Vol N2 - A Chime

A Chime " To me to live is Christ, And to die is gain." Be this my, song and boast Spite of ev’ry pain. As brook of life on earth Till it reach its sea, As source, and stream, and end, Christ alone for me.

’Tis worth a while to bear Din and battle strife;

Service and toil to seek, Christ alone for life.

If body die, ’tweer well, Blessed Lord, for me;

Ended toil I’d come With Thyself to be.

I know not which to choose, Jesus, Lord! nor see;

Then, let the Father do What is best for Thee.

Since I am wholly Thine, One spirit, Lord, with Thee, Whate’er for Thee is best Must be best for me.

Lines written to, and for a servant of the Lord, suffering at the time from a fatal disease, and now in the Master’s rest. By G. V. W.-1872.
