The Treasury Of Sacred Song

Blest be Thy love, dear LORD,

That taught us this sweet way,

Only to love Thee for Thyself,

And for that love obey.

O Thou, our souls' chief hope!

We to Thy mercy fly;

Where'er we are, Thou canst protect,

Whate'er we need, supply.

Whether we sleep or wake,

To Thee we both resign;

By night we see, as well as day,

If Thy light on us shine.

Whether we live or die,

Both we submit to Thee;

In death we live, as well as life,

If Thine in death we be.
