When I Survey Life's Varied Scene

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9483 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When I survey life’s varied scene Lyrics: 1 When I survey life’s varied scene, Amid the darkest hours, Sweet rays of comfort shine between, And thorns are mixed with flowers. 2 Lord, teach me to adore Thy hand, From whence my comforts flow, And let me in this desert land A glimpse of Canaan know. 3 Is health and ease my happy share? O may I bless my God; Thy kindness let my songs declare, And spread Thy praise abroad. 4 While such delightful gifts as these Are kindly dealt to me, Be all my hours of health and ease Devoted, Lord, to Thee. 5 In griefs and pains Thy sacred Word (Dear solace of my soul!) Celestial comforts can afford, And all their power control. 6 When present sufferings pain my heart, Or future terrors rise, And light and hope almost depart, From these dejected eyes, 7 Thy powerful Word supports my hope, Sweet cordial of the mind, And bears my fainting spirit up, And bids me wait resigned. 8 And, O, whate’er of earthly bliss Thy sovereign hand denies, Accepted at Thy throne of grace, Let this petition rise; 9 ‟Give me a calm, a thankful heart, From every murmur free; The blessings of Thy grace impart, And let me live to Thee. 10 Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine, My path of life attend; Thy presence through my journey shine, And bless its happy end."
