Eternal Beam of light divine

Eternal Beam of light divine,Thou Fount of unexhausted love,In whom the Father's glories shine,Through earth beneath, and heaven above;Jesus, the weary wanderer's rest,Give me thy easy yoke to bear,With steadfast patience arm my breast,With spotless love and lowly fear.

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.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 midday sun.

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.O death! where is thy sting? Where nowThy boasted victory, O grave?Who shall contend with God? or whoCan hurt whom God delights to save?
