Methodist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#534

534. O Life that maketh all things new

1 O Life that maketh all things new
The blooming earth, the thoughts of men!
Our pilgrim feet, wet with Thy dew,
In gladness hither turn again.

2 From hand to hand the greeting flows,
From eye to eye the signals run,
From heart to heart the bright hope glows;
The seekers of the Light are one.

3 One in the freedom of the truth,
One in the joy of paths untrod,
One in the soul's perennial youth,
One in the larger thought of God;

4 The freer step, the fuller breath,
The wide horizon's grander view,
The sense of life that knows no death
The Life that maketh all things new.
