Blest be Thy love, dear LORD, That taught us this sweet way, Only to love Thee for Thyself, And for that love obey. O Thou, our souls' chief hope! We to Thy mercy fly; Where'er we are, Thou canst protect, Whate'er we need, supply. Whether we sleep or wake, To Thee we both resign; By night we see, as well as day, If Thy light on us shine. Whether we live or die, Both we submit to Thee; In death we live, as well as life, If Thine in death we be. |
