Lyics

Let my life be hid in thee,

Life of life, and Light of light!

Loves illimitable Sea!

Depth of peace, of power the Hight!



Let my life be hid in thee,

When my foes are gathering round;

Covered with thy panoply,

Safe within thy holy ground.



Let my life be hid in thee;

When my strength and health shall fall,

Let thine immortality

In my dying hour prevail.
