Eternal Beam of Light Divine

Eternal beam of light di­vine

Fountain of un­ex­haust­ed love

In whom the Fa­ther’s glo­ries shine

Through earth be­neath

and Heav­en above;

Jesu

the wea­ry wan­der­er’s rest

Give me Thy ea­sy yoke to bear

With stead­fast pa­tience arm my breast

With spot­less love

and low­ly fear.

Thankful I take the cup from Thee

Prepared and min­gled by Thy skill

Though bit­ter to the taste it be

Powerful the wound­ed soul to heal.

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.

Speak to my war­ring pas­sions

Peace!

Say to my trem­bling heart

Be still!

Thy pow­er my strength and fort­ress is

For all things serve Thy sov­er­eign will.

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?
