And faith's fair vision changes into sight.

When we are strong, Lord, leave us not alone;

Be now for us in life our daily bread,
Our heart's true home when all our years have sped.

From wild alarms and trembling fears;
In your strong hand eternally
Rests the unfolding of the years.

With worlds on worlds beyond our sight,
Still may we trust your love and grace
And wait your word, "Let there be light."

Have in our inmost souls thy perfect way;
Guard thou each sacred hour from selfish ease;
Guide thou our ordered lives as thou dost please.

Through our surrendered souls thy plans fulfill.
We yield ourselves to Thee— time, talents, all;
We hear, and henceforth heed, thy sovereign call.
