1  Jesus, Fountain of my days,

       Well-spring of my heart's delight,

    Brightness of my morning rays,

       Solace of my hours of night;

    When I see Thee, I arise

    To the hope of cloudless skies.

 2  Oh, how weary were the years

       Ere Thy form to me was known;

    Oh, how gloomy were the fears

       When I seemed to be alone;

    I despaired the storm to brave

    Till Thy footprints touched the wave.

 3  But Thy presence on the deep

       Calmed the pulses of the sea,

    And the waters sank to sleep

       In the rest of seeing Thee;

    And my once rebellious will

    Heard the mandate, Peace, be still!

 4  Now Thy will and mine are one,

       Heart in heart, and hand in hand;

    All the clouds have touched the sun,

       And the ships have reached the land;

    For Thy love has said to me,

    No more night! and No more sea!
