Author: Prust’s Supplementary Hymn Book 1869
How blessed is life if lived for you,
my loving Saviour and my Lord:
no pleasures that the world can give
such perfect gladness can afford.
2. To know I am your ransomed child,
bought by your own most precious blood,
and from your loving hand to take
with grateful heart each gift of good.
3. All day to walk beneath your smile,
watching your eye to guide me still,
to rest at night beneath your care,
guarded by you from every ill.
4. To feel that though I journey on
by stony paths and rugged ways,
my master’s feet have gone before
and strength is given for weary days.
5. Such love shall ever make me glad,
strong in your strength to work or rest,
until I see you face to face
and in your light am fully blessed.
