"For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land -a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills"-Deut. 8:7.
O blessed Lord, Thy love to us so great
Has reached my heart;
Now teach me every form of sin to hate,
Thy strength impart.
Shine forth, O Lord, in all Thy glorious light
Within my soul, and lead me through the night.
I would be like Thee, O my blessed Lord,
Through all the way,
And joy in Thee, and trust Thy faithful Word
From day to day.
Strengthen Thou me that I may love Thee more,
And live for Thee, and praise Thee and adore.
Thy goodness, Lord, will lead us by the hand
Through this dark night,
Until I reach that blessed, heavenly land
Where all is bright-
Where Thee I’ll see as Thou art there above,
And praise Thee for the fulness of Thy love.
