BLESS the Christ of God; I rest on love divine, And with unfaltering lip and heart, I call the Saviour mine.

His cross dispels each doubt: I bury in His tomb Each thought of unbeliever and fear, Each lingering shade of gloom.

Verse 3

I praise the God of grace; I trust His truth and might; He calls me His, I call Him mine, My God, my joy, my light.

Verse 4

In Him is only good, In me is only ill; My ill but draws His goodness forth, And me He loveth still.

Tis He Who saveth me, And freely pardon gives; I love because He loveth me, I live because He lives.

My life with Him is hid, My death has passed away, My clouds have melted into light, My midnight into day.
