Living to God. (562) 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.
