|
Lord, to Thy chosen ones appear,
Gladden weak hearts weighed down by fear,
Let Thy Word's light, a guiding Star,
Arise on those who dwell afar.
|
|
Let none who seek Thee faint or tire,
But still press on with warm desire,
Shunning whate'er Thou dost condemn,
That Satan have no part in them.
|
|
Bid them Thy easy yoke to know,
Patient alike in joy and woe;
In spirit, soul, and body still
Wholly surrendered to Thy will.
|
|
We yield, O Thou true Life, to Thee,
Wealth, honour, all things, utterly,
Fixing our hearts on Thee alone;
O God Supreme, be Thou our own!
