W. T. Matson (328/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

W. T. Matson 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, the soul that soars, When sense of mortal sight is dim, Beyond the sense, beyond to Him Whose love unlocks the heavenly 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: Saviour, fulfil my deep desire, And let this blessed Life be mine.
