Lyrics
O, blessed Sun, whose splendor
Dispels the shades of night;
O, Jesus, my Defender,
My soul's supreme delight;
All day I hear resounding
A voice with silver tone,
Which speaks of grace abounding
Through God's eternal Son!
A deep and heav'nly feeling
Oft seizes on my breast;
Ah, here is balm for healing;
Here only is true rest!
Though fortune should bereave me
Of all that I possess,
If Christ His love still leave me,
I freely give the rest.
To win this precious treasure
And matchless pearl I would
Give honor, wealth, and pleasure,
Yea, ev'ry earthly good;
I gladly would surrender
The dearest thing which might
Obscure my Sun's bright splendor,
And rob me of His light.
I know no life divided,
O Lord of Life, from Thee;
In Thee is life provided
For all mankind and me;
I know no death, O Jesus,
Because I live in Thee;
Thy death it is which frees us
From death eternally.
I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be,
Can make no separation,
Between my Lord and me;
If Thou, my God and teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own,
Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.
If, while on earth I wander,
My heart is light and blest,
Ah! what shall I be yonder,
In perfect peace and rest?
O, blessed thought! In dying
We go to meet the Lord,
Where there shall be no sighing,
A kingdom our reward.
Lord, with this truth impress me
And write it on my heart,
To comfort, cheer and bless me,
That Thou my Saviour art;
Without Thy love to guide me,
I should be wholly lost;
The floods would quickly hide me,
On life's wide ocean tossed.
Thy love it was which sought me;
Thou wast unsought by me,
And to the haven brought me,
Where I would gladly be;
The things which once distressed me
My heart no longer move,
Since this sweet truth impressed me
That I possess Thy love.
Dispels the shades of night;
O, Jesus, my Defender,
My soul's supreme delight;
All day I hear resounding
A voice with silver tone,
Which speaks of grace abounding
Through God's eternal Son!
A deep and heav'nly feeling
Oft seizes on my breast;
Ah, here is balm for healing;
Here only is true rest!
Though fortune should bereave me
Of all that I possess,
If Christ His love still leave me,
I freely give the rest.
To win this precious treasure
And matchless pearl I would
Give honor, wealth, and pleasure,
Yea, ev'ry earthly good;
I gladly would surrender
The dearest thing which might
Obscure my Sun's bright splendor,
And rob me of His light.
I know no life divided,
O Lord of Life, from Thee;
In Thee is life provided
For all mankind and me;
I know no death, O Jesus,
Because I live in Thee;
Thy death it is which frees us
From death eternally.
I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be,
Can make no separation,
Between my Lord and me;
If Thou, my God and teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own,
Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.
If, while on earth I wander,
My heart is light and blest,
Ah! what shall I be yonder,
In perfect peace and rest?
O, blessed thought! In dying

Where there shall be no sighing,
A kingdom our reward.
Lord, with this truth impress me
And write it on my heart,
To comfort, cheer and bless me,
That Thou my Saviour art;
Without Thy love to guide me,

On life's wide ocean tossed.

And to the haven brought me,
Where I would gladly be;
The things which once distressed me
My heart no longer move,
Since this sweet truth impressed me
That I possess Thy love.
