Tune: | [On Thee, O Jesus, strongly leaning] |
Composer: | Rev. J. Mountain |
1 On Thee, O Jesus, strongly leaning,
I calmly onward go;
No cloud, no coldness intervening,
To damp love’s blessed glow.
2 In Thee for ever, Lord, abiding,
I feel that all is well;
Within Thy love for ever hiding,
Who can my gladness tell?
3 True Light of light, for ever shining,
I hail Thy happy ray;
Bright Sun of suns, still undeclining,
‘Tis Thou who mak’st my day!
4 Without Thee life and time are sadness,
No fragrance breathes around;
But with Thee even grief is gladness,
My heart its home hath found.
5 In Thee my soul is sweetly resting,
My hand takes hold of Thine;
My hope is ever upward hasting;
And Thou, and Thou, art mine!
6 My refuge from each storm that rages,
From wind, and wave, and war;
My home throughout eternal ages,
Above yon sparkling star!
