Sweet is the solace of Thy love,
My heavenly Friend, to me,
While through the hidden way of faith
I journey home with Thee,
Learning by quiet thankfulness
As a dear child to be.
Though from the shadow of Thy peace
My feet would often stray,
Thy mercy follows all my steps,
And will not turn away ;
Yea, Thou wilt comfort me at last,
As none beneath Thee may.
Oft in a dark and lonely place,
I hush my hastened breath.
To hear the comfortable words
Thy loving Spirit saith :
And feel my safety in Thy hand
From every kind of death.
Oh ! there is nothing in the world
To weigh against Thy will ;
E'en the dark times I dread the most
Thy covenant fulfil ;
And when the pleasant morning dawns
I find Thee with me still.
Then in the secret of my soul,
Though hosts my peace invade,
Though through a waste and weary land
My lonely way be made,
Thou, even Thou, wilt comfort me :
I need not be afraid.
Still in the solitary place
I would awhile abide,
Till with the solace of Thy love
My heart is satisfied ;
And all my hopes of happiness
Stay calmly at Thy side.
