St. John
Reginald Heber (17831826)O G
Amid the storms of life distrest,
To look on Thine incarnate face,
And lean on Thy protecting breast;
Eclipsed for us in sorrow pale,
Pure image of the Eternal One!
Through shadows of Thy mortal veil!
To feel Thy presence from above,
And in Thy word and in Thy will
To hear Thy voice and know Thy love.
And nature waits Thy dread decree,
To find our rest beneath Thy throne,
And look in humble hope to Thee.
