MHB 529 – O BLESSED life! the heart at rest

Methodist-Hymns-529

1: O BLESSED life! the heart at rest
When all without tumultuous seems-
That trusts a higher will, and deems
That higher will, not mine, the best.

2: O blessed life! the mind that sees,
Whatever change the years may bring,
A mercy still in everything,
And shining through all mysteries.

3: O blessed life! the soul that soars,
When sense of mortal sight is dim,
Beyond the sense-beyond to Him,
Whose love unlocks the heavenly doors.

4: O blessed life! heart, mind, and  soul,
From self-born aims and wishes  free,
In all at one with Deity,
And loyal to the Lord’s control.

5: O life, how blessed, how divine!
High life, the earnest of a  higher:
Savior, fulfil my deep desire,
And let this blessed life be mine.
