O blessed Sun, whose splendor

Author: Richard Massie; Carl Johann Philipp Spitta Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Abiding in Christ Lyrics: 1 O blessed Sun, whose splendor Dispels the shades of night; O Jesus, my defender, My soul's supreme delight,-- Though fortune should bereave me Of all I love the best, If Thou Thy love still leave me, I freely give the rest. 2 I know no life divided, O Lord of life, from Thee; In Thee is life provided For all mankind and me; I know no death, O Jesus, Because I live in Thee; Thy death it is which frees us From death eternally. 3 I fear no tribulation, Since, whatsoe'er it be, It makes no separation Between my Lord and me. If Thou, my God, my teacher, Vouchsafe to be my own, Though poor, I shall be richer Than monarch on his throne. 4 If, while on earth I wander, My heart is light and blest, Ah, what shall I be yonder, In perfect peace and rest? O blessed thought in dying, We go to meet the Lord, Where there shall be no sighing, A kingdom our reward. Used With Tune: [O blessed Sun, whose splendor]
