(562) Living to God.
Bless'd be thy love, dear Lord!
That taught us this sweet way,
Only to love thee for thyself,
And for that love obey.
2 Oh, thou, our soul's chief Hope!
We to thy mercy fly;
Where'er we are, thou canst protect,
Whate'er we need, supply.
3 Whether we sleep or wake,
To thee we both resign;
By night we see, as well as day,
If thy light on us shine.
4 Whether we live or die,
Both we submit to thee;
In death we live, as well as life,
If thine in death we be.
John Austin, 1668.
