O blessed life ! the heart at rest, When all without tumultuous seems, That trusts a higher will, and deems That higher will, not mine, the best.
2. O blessed life ! the mind that sees Whatever change the years may bring ; A mercy still in everything, And shining through all mysteries.
3. O blessed life ! the soul that soars, When sense of mortal sight is dim, Beyond the sense----beyond to Him Whose love unlocks the heavenly doors.
4. O blessed life ! heart, mind, and soul, From self-born aims and wishes free In all-----at one with Deity, And loyal to the Lord's control.
5. O life ! how blessed, how divine ! High life, the earnest of a higher ! Saviour, fulfil my deep desire, And let this blessed life be mine.
