 And though a golden beam of endless light,

 My weary quest is ended. Like the dove,

 Midst toil and strife, in calm repose I’m blest,
-As John of old upon Thy heart did rest.

 Secure in Thee, and shaken by no fears,

 The joys of sweet submission to Thy will
-The fleeting days with ringing gladness fill.

-From all the storms of life doth shelter me.

 When grim fear lurks sometimes around the soul,
-And clouds and shadows dark obscure the goal,
