But the blest volume Thou hast writ,
Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.

In souls renewed, and sins forgiv'n;
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
And make Thy Word my guide to heaven.

And He has made me glad.

The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live."

Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

"I am this dark world's Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright."

In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that Light of life I'll walk,
Till traveling days are done.

Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace of earth, goodwill to men.

The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.
3 And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men."
4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, goodwill to men."
5 Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
