O blessed life-the heart at rest

588

	1.	O blessed life-the heart at rest
		When all without tumultuous seems,
		That trusts a higher will, and deems,
		That higher will, not mine, the best.
	2.	O blessed life, the mind that sees,
		Whatever change the years may bring,
		A mercy still in everything,
		And shining through all mysteries.
	3.	O blessed life, as spirit soars,
		When sense of mortal sight is dim,
		Beyond the sense, beyond to Him,
		Whose love unlocks the glorious doors.
	4.	O blessed life, heart, mind, and soul,
		>From self-born aims and wishes free,
		In all at one with Deity,
		And loyal to the Lord's control.
	5.	O life, how blessed, how divine,
		High life, the earnest of a higher;
		Savior, fulfil my deep desire,
		And let this blessed life be mine.
