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, as spirit soars,

    When sense of mortal sight is dim,

    Beyond the sense, beyond to Him,

    Whose love unlocks the glorious 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.
