2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;

I lay in dust life's glory dead,

And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

George Matheson, 1882

(ST. PETER'S OXFORD) 5 Weak is the effort of my heart,

And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought.

6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

John Newton 1779

I. When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun,

When I stand with Christ on high, Look - ing o'er life's his to ry;

1. The roseate hues of early dawn, The bright-ness of the day, 04

The crim- son of the sun set sky, How fast they fade

a- way:

O for the pearl - y gates of heav'n! O for the gold en floor!

2 The highest hopes we cherish here, 2 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope,

How fast they tire and faint;
How many a spot defiles the robe

That wraps an earthly saint:
O for a heart that never sins,

O for a soul washed white,
O for a voice to praise our King,
Nor weary day or night!

And grace to lead us higher;
But there are perfectness and peace,
Beyond our best desire:

O by Thy love and anguish, Lord,
O by Thy life laid down,

O that we fall not from Thy grace,
Nor cast away our crown!

Cecil F. Alexander, 1852

1. Love di-vine, all loves ex - cell-ing, Joy of heav'n to earth come down;

Fix in us Thy hum - ble dwell-ing, All Thy faith- ful

all com-pas- sion, Pure, un-bound- ed love Thou art;

Visit us with Thy sal va-tion, Enter ev'ry trembling heart. A-MEN.

2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit 3 Come, Almighty to deliver,

4 Finish, then, Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see our whole salvation,
Perfectly secured in Thee,
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

1. Love divine, all loves ex- cell-ing, Joy of heav'n to earth come down;

Fix in us Thy humble dwell-ing, All Thy faith - ful

Jesus, Thou art all com-pas- sion, Pure, un-bound- ed love Thou art;

Vis - it us with Thy sal - va- tion, En-ter ev'ry trem-bling heart. A-MEN.
