I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Matthew 28:20
Words: Ethel A. Barlow, 1915.
Music: Bentley D. Ackley (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Barlow (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
The cross that He gave is heavy,
And the light on my path is dim,
Yet I feel a blessèd assurance,
Whenever I think of Him.
Refrain
Whenever I think of Him,
Whenever I think of Him,
He fills my soul with divine control,
Whenever I think of Him.
I stand on the mount of promise,
Rising up from the vale of prayer;
For my soul is filled with His goodness,
And thoughts of His love and care.
Refrain
Some day it will all be over;
Then with loved ones gone on before,
I will join the saints and the martyrs,
And praise Him forevermore.
