170. 8s. M. Hogg. God of Life. 1 Blessed be thy name forever, Thou of life the Guard and Giver! Thou canst guard thy creatures sleeping, Heal the heart long broke with weeping: God of stillness and of motion, Of the desert and the ocean, Of the mountain, rock and river, Blessed be thy name forever! 2 Thou who slumberest not nor sleepest, Blest are they thou kindly keepest. God of evening's parting ray, Of midnight gloom, and dawning day -- That rises from the azure sea Like breathings of eternity; God of life! that fade shall never, Blessed be thy name forever!
