Methodist-Hymns-493
1: LOVE of love, and Light or light,
Heavenly Father all maintaining;
Wisdom hid in highest height,
To Thy creature fondly deigning;
Make wonderful and just,
Thou hast call’d my heart to trust,
2: What are life’s unnumbere’d cares,
Sorrow, torment, passing measure?
O’er my short-lived pains and fears
Surely ruleth Thy good pleasure,
Boundless is Thy love for me,
Boundless then my trust shall be.
3: Every burden weigheth light,
Since in Thee my hope abideth:
Sweetly bright my darkest night,
While on Thee my mind confideth.
Give Thy gift, I Thee implore,
Thee to trust for evermore
