| | | O GOD! who gav’st Thy servant grace, | |
| Amid the storms of life distrest, | |
| To look on Thine incarnate face, | |
| And lean on Thy protecting breast; | |
| |
| To see the light that dimly shone, | 5 |
| Eclipsed for us in sorrow pale, | |
| Pure image of the Eternal One! | |
| Through shadows of Thy mortal veil! | |
| |
| Be ours, O King of Mercy! still | |
| To feel Thy presence from above, | 10 |
| And in Thy word and in Thy will | |
| To hear Thy voice and know Thy love. | |
| |
| And when the toils of life are done, | |
| And nature waits Thy dread decree, | |
| To find our rest beneath Thy throne, | 15 |
| And look in humble hope to Thee. | | | | |
