Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation; Vainly with gifts would His favor secure: Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Nothing I see save failures and shortcomings, And weak endeavors, crumbling into dust. 5 But I look up--into the face of Jesus, For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; And there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, And perfect peace, and every hope fulfilled.

Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving. 5 O where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing, What must the Source be whence it comes, the Giver? Beauty forever. 6 Be strong, my soul; hope, pray, await His favor, And thou shalt know the sweetness of thy Saviour; When in His gentle arms secure He holds thee, His love enfolds thee. 7 Soon on that shore where stormy wave ne'er breaketh The weary dove its final refuge taketh; The timorous lamb shall by thy Shepherd's favor Find rest forever.
