Song Lyrics: When I survey life's varied scene (Hymn 682)

Complete vocal text formatted for accompaniment and rehearsal

Size:

Verse 1: When I survey life's varied scene, Amid the darkest hours Sweet rays of comfort shine between And thorns are mixed with flowers. Verse 2: Lord, teach me to adore Thy hand, From whence my comforts flow, And let me in this desert land A glimpse of glory know. Verse 3: Father, whate'er of earthly bliss Thy sovereign hand denies, Accepted at Thy throne of grace, Let this petition rise: Verse 4: Give me a calm, a thankful heart, From every murmur free; The blessings of Thy grace impart, And let me live to Thee. Verse 5: Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine My life and death attend, Thy presence through my journey shine, And crown my journey's end.
