The Lord my Saviour liveth; What though the darkness gather round? Songs in the night be giveth; No storm can shake my inmost calm, While to that refuge clinging; Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing? 3 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths, Since first I learned to love it; The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine since I am his How can I keep from singing?

Let thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to thee; Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart; oh, take and seal it; Seal it for thy courts above.
