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.
O blessed life
the mind that sees
Whatever change the years may bring
A mercy still in everything
And shining through all mysteries.
O blessed life
as spirit soars
When sense of mortal sight is dim
Beyond the sense
beyond to Him
Whose love unlocks the glorious doors.
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.
O life
how blessed
how divine
High life
the earnest of a higher;
Savior
fulfil my deep desire
And let this blessed life be mine.
