Thy promise, faith's anchor, how steadfast and sure! That love, like sweet sunshine, my cold heart can warm, That promise make steady my soul in the storm. 4 Breathe, breathe on my spirit, oft ruffled, thy peace: From restless, vain wishes, bid thou my heart cease; In thee all its longings henceforward shall end, Till, glad, to thy presence my soul shall ascend. 5 Oh, then, blessed Jesus, who once for me died, Made clean in the fountain that gushed from thy side, I shall see thy full glory, thy face shall behold, And praise thee with raptures for ever untold!
