O Will of God Beneath Our Life

lyricist: George Gordon, 1915
Composer: Jeremiah Clark, 1707

O will of God be­neath our life

The sea be­neath the wave:

From Thee we rise in mys­tic strife

In Thee we find our grave.

O truth of God be­neath our faith

The rock on which we rest:

Thy mind is near

Thy Spir­it saith

Our home is in Thy breast.

O love of God be­neath our loves

The fount­ain to the stream:

The riv­er of Thy peace it moves

Its tide our sur­est dream.

O life of God be­neath our death

The sun be­hind our gloom:

Thy Christ pro­claims in ev­ery breath

The world of fade­less bloom.
