ETERNAL Beam of light divine, Fountain of unexhausted love

ETERNAL Beam of light divine, Fountain of unexhausted love, In whom the Father's glories shine Through earth beneath, and heaven above;

Jesu, the weary wanderer's rest, Give me thy easy yoke to bear, With steadfast patience arm my breast, With spotless love, and lowly fear.

Thankful I take the cup from thee, Prepared and mingled by thy skill, Though bitter to the taste it be, Powerful the wounded soul to heal.

Be thou, O Rock of ages, nigh! So shall each murmuring thought be gone, And grief, and fear, and care, shall fly, As clouds before the mid-day sun.

Speak to my warring passions, "Peace!" Say to my trembling heart, "Be still!" Thy power my strength and fortress is, For all things serve thy sovereign will.

O death! where is thy sting Where now Thy boasted victory, O grave Who shall contend with God or who Can hurt whom God delights to save
