Ordained by everlasting love,

To the bright realms of endless day.

4 Here let our constant feet abide,

Nor from the heavenly path depart;

O let thy Spirit, gracious Guide!

Direct our steps, and cheer our heart.

5 Safe lead us through this world of night,

And bring us to the blissful plains—

The regions of unclouded light

Where perfect joy for ever reigns.
