HYMN Lyrics Text: Oh I Often Sit & Ponder

1. O! I often sit and ponder

when the sun is sinking low.

Where shall yonder future

Find me?

None but God in Heaven know.

Shall I be among the living?

Shall I mingle with the free?

Whereso’ er, my path be leading,

Saviour keep my heart

with thee.

Oh, the future lies before me.

And I know not where lll be.

But whe’er my path be leading

Saviour keep my heart

with Thee. (2).

2. Shall I be at work with Jesus?

Whilst he leads me by the hand.

And to those around be saying

Come and join this happy band

Come for all things now are ready

Come his faithful followers be.

Oh, where e’er

my path be leading,

Saviour keep my heart with Thee.

3. But perhaps my work for Jesus

soon In future may be done.

All my earthly trials ended,

and my crown in heaven won.

Then forever with the ransomed

thro’ eternity I’d be,

chanting hymns to Him

who bought me

with his blood shed on the tree.
