Lyrics
It Matters Not
Music by Kim Richmond
Mary Baker Eddy
It matters not what be thy lot, so Love doth guide
For storm or shine, pure peace is thine what e’er betide.
And of these stones or tyrants’ thrones, God able is
To raise up seed in thought and deed to faithful His
Aye, darkling sense, arise, go hence! Our God is good.
False fears are foes truth tatters those when understood
Love looseth thee and lifteth me ayont hate’s thrall
There Life is light and wisdom might and God is All
The centuries break, the earth-bound wake, God’s glorified! Who doth
His will His likeness
still is satisfied.
