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 ! the soul that soars,
When sense of mortal sight is dim,
Beyond the sense----beyond to Him
Whose love unlocks the heavenly 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 !
Saviour, fulfil my deep desire,
And let this blessed life be mine.
