Representative Text

1 When on the weary heart there gently dawns
The fullness of His love,
Then with our spirits tuned to joy and praise,
We sing, "God rules above!"

Refrain:
How He loves us, the notes come ringing,
From all the faithful, His mercy singing;
The whole earth to Him is bringing
Praises for His love and care.

3 Safe in the shadow of His mighty wings,
He hides us day by day;
In that sweet shelter we may sweetly gain
Courage to tread life’s way. [Refrain]

4 And when we each shall enter death’s dark vale,
Our earthly race well run,
He’ll grant us faith and courage still to say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done." [Refrain]
