1 Eternal beam of light divine,
Fountain of unexhausted love,
In whom the Father’s glories shine,
Thro' earth beneath, and heav'n above:
2 Jesus, the weary wand'rer’s rest,
Give me thy easy yoke to bear,
With steadfast patience arm my breast,
With spotless love and holy fear.
3 Thankful I take the cup from Thee,
Prepared and mingled by Thy skill,
Tho' bitter to the taste it be,
Pow'rful the wounded soul to heal.
4 Be thou, O Rock of Ages, nigh!
So shall each murmuring thought be gone,
And grief and fear, and care shall fly,
As clouds before the mid-day sun.
5 Speak to my warring passions 'Peace!'
Say to my trembling heart, 'Be still!'
Thy pow'r my strength and fortress is,
For all things serve thy sov'reign will.
6 O death, where is thy sting? Where now
Thy boasted victory, O grave?
Who shall contend with God? or who
Can hurt whom God delights to save?
