MHB 496 – ETERNAL Beam of light divine

Methodist-Hymns-496

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 midday 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?
