<p>Christ, of all my hopes the Ground;<br>
|
|
Christ, the Spring of all my joy;<br>
|
|
Still in Thee may I be found,<br>
|
|
Still for Thee my powers employ,<br>
|
|
Still for Thee my powers employ.</p>
|
|
<p>Let Thy love my heart inflame;<br>
|
|
Keep Thy fear before my sight;<br>
|
|
Be Thy praise my highest aim;<br>
|
|
Be Thy smile my chief delight,<br>
|
|
Be Thy smile my chief delight.</p>
|
|
<p>When affliction clouds my sky,<br>
|
|
And the wintry tempests blow,<br>
|
|
Let Thy mercy beaming eye<br>
|
|
Sweetly cheer the night of woe.<br>
|
|
Sweetly cheer the night of woe.</p>
|
|
<p>When new triumphs of Thy Name<br>
|
|
Swell the raptured songs above,<br>
|
|
May I feel a kindred flame,<br>
|
|
Full of zeal, and full of love!<br>
|
|
Full of zeal, and full of love!</p>
|
|
<p>Life’s best joy, to see Thy praise<br>
|
|
Fly on wings of Gospel light,<br>
|
|
Leading on millennial days,<br>
|
|
Scattering all the shades of night!<br>
|
|
Scattering all the shades of night!</p>
|
|
<p>Fountain of overflowing grace,<br>
|
|
Freely from Thy fullness give;<br>
|
|
Till I close my earthly race,<br>
|
|
May I prove it “Christ to live!”<br>
|
|
May I prove it “Christ to live!”</p>
|
|
<p>When, with wasting sickness worn,<br>
|
|
Sinking to the grave I lie,<br>
|
|
Or, by sudden anguish torn,<br>
|
|
Startled nature dreads to die,<br>
|
|
Startled nature dreads to die.</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, my redeeming Lord,<br>
|
|
Be Thou then in mercy near!<br>
|
|
Let Thy smile of love afford<br>
|
|
Full relief from all my fear,<br>
|
|
Full relief from all my fear.</p>
|
|
<p>Firmly trusting in Thy blood,<br>
|
|
Nothing shall my heart confound;<br>
|
|
Safely I shall pass the flood,<br>
|
|
Safely reach Emmanuel’s ground,<br>
|
|
Safely reach Emmanuel’s ground.</p>
|
|
<p>When I touch the blessèd shore,<br>
|
|
Back the closing waves shall roll;<br>
|
|
Death’s dark stream shall never more<br>
|
|
Part from Thee my ravished soul,<br>
|
|
Part from Thee my ravished soul.</p>
|
|
<p>Thus, O thus, an entrance give<br>
|
|
To the land of cloudless sky;<br>
|
|
Having known it “Christ to live,”<br>
|
|
Let me know it “gain to die,”<br>
|
|
Let me know it “gain to die.”</p>
