Lyics

Savior! thy gentle voice

Gladly we hear;

Author of all our joys,

Be ever near;

Our souls would cling to thee,

Let us thy fullness see,

Our life to cheer.



Fountain of life divine!

Thee we adore;

We would be wholly thine

For evermore;

Freely forgive our sin,

Grant heavenly peace within,

Thy light restore.



Though to our faith unseen,

While darkness reigns,

On thee alone we lean

While life remains;

By thy free grace restored,

Our souls shall bless the Lord

In joyful strains!
