8.8.8.4 [1512]Hanford (Sullivan): Arthur S. Sullivan, 1874 [1513]Troyte's Chant No.1: Arthur H. D. Troyte, 1860 Charlotte Elliott, 1869; Alt. Jesus, my Savior, look on me, For I am weary and opprest; I come to cast myself on thee: Thou art my Rest. Look down on me, for I am weak; I feel the toilsome journey's length: Thine aid omnipotent I seek: Thou art my Strength. I am bewildered on my way, Dark and tempestuous is the night; O send thou forth some cheering ray! Thou art my Light. When Satan flings his fiery darts, I look to thee; my terrors cease; Thy cross a hiding-place imparts: Thou art my Peace. Standing alone on Jordan's brink, In that tremendous, latest strife, Thou wilt not suffer me to sink: Thou art my Life. Thou wilt my every want supply, E'en to the end, whate'er befall: Through life, in death, eternally, Thou art my All. Amen. |
