To my heart--no longer mine-- Grant the fullness of thy grace; Living, dying, own me thine, Till I see thee face to face.
With thy likeness crowned at last, O, what rapture it will be, When the night of death is past, Evermore to dwell with thee.
O Jesus, sole, sufficient source Of hope that heals the sad heart’s strife, Direct us on our darkened course, Thyself the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Thou knowest the way we take, O Lord! Didst thou not prove its painful length? Help of the helpless, still afford Thy pitying love, thy tender strength.
In every trial, every care, Thy patient footsteps may we see; The sorrows of thy cross to share Shall then our joy and glory be.
Secure in thy unchanging love, No toil, no suffering will we flee, Assured that death itself shall prove The path that leads to heaven and thee.
In the day of tribulation, In the hour of sore temptation, With the strength of thy salvation, Jesus, Saviour, comfort me.
When no more the heart may borrow Hope and courage from the morrow,-- In the darkest depths of sorrow, Jesus, Saviour, comfort me.
When all aid is unavailing, Flesh and heart together failing, Sin and death the soul assailing,-- Jesus, Saviour, comfort me.
On thy word alone relying,-- Never thy dear name denying,-- O, forsake me not when dying! Jesus, Saviour, comfort me.
Crowned, at last, in light supernal, Victor over foes infernal,-- With thy love, supreme, eternal, Jesus, Saviour, comfort me.
Holy Spirit, heavenly Guest, Make thy home within my breast; Yearns for thee my weary heart,-- Come, and nevermore depart.
Where thou dwellest peace abides,-- Grace surpassing all besides,-- Priceless treasure, pure and blest, Earnest of eternal rest.
God’s dear will be done in me Even as it pleaseth thee; Only let me fully prove The sweet comfort of thy love.
Cheerfully, for Jesus’ sake, May I every burden take,-- Glad to trace the pathway trod By the suffering Son of God.
Blessed Comforter and Guide, Keep me near the Saviour’s side, Till I in his likeness rise, Crowned with bliss beyond the skies.
Holy Spirit, Light divine! On our souls in mercy shine; Gates of heaven again unfold;-- Haste, for Time is waxing old.
On the Church of Jesus shower All thy plenitude of power; Heal earth’s bitterness and strife With the Saviour’s love and life.
