By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M.
      1 ETERNAL Beam of light divine,
      Fountain of unexhausted love,
      In whom the Father's glories shine
      Through earth beneath, and heaven above;

      2 Jesu, the weary wanderer's rest,
      Give me thy easy yoke to bear,
      With steadfast patience arm my breast,
      With spotless love, and lowly fear.

      3 Thankful I take the cup from thee,
      Prepared and mingled by thy skill,
      Though bitter to the taste it be,
      Powerful the wounded soul to heal.

      4 Be thou, O Rock of ages, nigh!
      So shall each murmuring thought be gone,
      And grief, and fear, and care, shall fly,
      As clouds before the mid-day sun.

      5 Speak to my warring passions, "Peace!"
      Say to my trembling heart, "Be still!"
      Thy power my strength and fortress is,
      For all things serve thy sovereign will.

      6 O death! where is thy sting? Where now
      Thy boasted victory, O grave?
      Who shall contend with God? or who
      Can hurt whom God delights to save?
