Lyrics

1. I do not ask for earthly store beyond a day's supply. I only covet more and more the clear and single eye to see my duty face to face and trust the Lord for daily grace.
2. I care not for the empty show that thoughtless worldlings see. I crave to do the best I know and leave the rest with Thee; well satisfied that sweet reward is sure to those who trust the Lord.
3. Whate'er the crosses mine shall be, I will not dare to shun. I only ask to live for Thee and that Thy will be done. Thy will, O Lord, be mine each day, while pressing on my homeward way.
4. And when at last my labour o'er, I cross the narrow sea. Grant, Lord, that on the other shore my soul may dwell with Thee and learn what here I cannot know: Why Thou hast ever loved me so.
Refrain: Then shall my heart keep singing while to the cross I cling; for rest is sweet at Jesus' feet while homeward faith keeps winging, while homeward faith keeps winging.
