May our souls find rest in thee

33 Trust. 8. 7. 8. 7.

1 Come, O Lord, like morning sunlight,
   Making all life new and free;
   For the daily task and challenge
   May we rise renewed in Thee.

2 Come, O Lord, like ocean flood-tides,
   Flowing inland from the sea;
   As the waters fill the shallows,
   May our souls be filled with Thee.

3 Come, O Lord, like mountain breezes,
   Freshening life in vale and lea;
   In the heat and stress of duty
   May our souls find strength in Thee.

4 Come, O Lord, like evening twilight,
   Bringing peace on land and sea;
   At the radiant close of labor
   May our souls find rest in Thee.
