Lyrics

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.
