O Friend of Souls

Author: W. C. Dessler Hymnal: The Ark of Praise #117 (1882) First Line: O Friend of souls, how blest the time Lyrics: 1 O Friend of souls! how blest the time When in thy love I rest, When from my weariness I climb E’en to thy tender breast! The night of sorrow endeth there, Thy rays outshine the sun, And in thy pardon and thy care The heaven of heavens is won. 2 The world may call itself my foe, Or flatter and allure: I care not for the world; I go To this tried Friend and sure. And when life’s fiercest storms are sent Upon life’s wildest sea, My little bark is confident Because it holdeth thee. 3 To others death seems dark and grim, But no, O Lord, to me: I know thou ne’er forsakest him Who puts his trust in thee. Nay, rather, with a joyful heart I welcome the release From this dark desert, and depart To thy eternal peace. Tune Title: ROCKWELL
