The Future Lyrics

Oh, I often sit and ponder
When the sun is sinking low
Where shall yonder future find me
Does but God in Heaven know?
Shall I be among the living?
Shall I mingle with the free?
Wheresoe'er my path be leading
Savior, Keep my heart with Thee

Oh, the future lies before me
And I know not where I'll be
But where'er my path be leading
Savior, keep my heart with Thee

Shall I be at work for Jesus
Whilst He leads me by the hand
And to those around be saying
Come and join His happy band?
Come, for all things now are ready
Come, His faithful follower be
Oh, where'er my path be leading
Savior, keep my heart with Thee

But perhaps my work for Jesus
Soon in future may be done
All my earthly trials ended
And my crown in Heaven won

Oh, the future lies before me
And I know not where I'll be
But where'er my path be leading
Savior, keep my heart with Thee

Then, forever with the ransomed
Thro' eternity I'd be
Chanting hymns to Him who bought me
With His blood shed on the tree
