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.
