All pain before thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. 4 Unwearied may I this pursue, Dauntless to the high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire. 5 Still let thy love point out my way; How wondrous things thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray: Direct my work, inspire my thought. 6 In suff'ring be thy love my peace, In weakness be thy love my power, And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in the important hour.

A poor blind creature of a day, And crush'd before the moth? 6 But ah! my inward spirit cries, Still bind me to thy sway; Else the next cloud that veils my skies Drives all these thoughts away.
