Oh the peace of full surrender-
All my joy to do His will!
Mine to trust His faithful promise,
His the promise to fulfil.

Oh the glory and the rapture,
Thus to dwell with Christ the Lord;
New delight and wisdom gaining
From the study of His Word.

Pleasure's songs no more entice me,
Nor the bugle note of Fame;
Sweeter far the holy music
Of my dear Redeemer's name.

Oh the glory and the rapture-
Earthly burdens pass away!
Stormy winter turns to summer,
Lonely darkness into day.
