Author: William T. Matson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8541 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Oh, blessed Life! The heart at rest Lyrics: 1 Oh, blessèd Life! The heart at rest,
When all without tumultuous seems,
That trusts a higher Will, and deems
That higher Will, not mine, is best.
2 O blessèd Life! The mind that sees,
Whatever change the years may bring,
A mercy still in every thing,
And, shining through all mysteries.
3 O blessèd Life! The soul that soars,
When sense of mortal sight is dim,
Beyond the sense, beyond to Him,
Whose love unlocks the heav’nly doors.
4 O blessèd 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 blessèd, how divine!
High life, the earnest of a higher!
Savior, fulfill my deep desire,
And let this blessèd Life be mine! Languages: English Tune Title: DIMAN
Oh, Blessed Life
