LyicsJESUS, thou source of calm repose,
All fullness dwells in Thee divine;
Our strength, to quell the proudest foes;
Our light, in deepest gloom to shine;
Thou art our fortress, strength, and tow'r,
Our trust and portion evermore.
Jesus, our Comforter, Thou art
Our rest in toil, our ease in pain;
The balm to heal each broken heart;
In storms our peace, in loss our gain;
Our joy, beneath the worldling's frown;
In shame, our glory and our crown;
In want, our plentiful supply;
In weakness, our almighty pow'r;
In bonds, our perfect liberty;
Our refuge in temptation's hour;
Our comfort 'midst all grief and thrall;
Our life in death; our all in all.
