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.
