Oh, Blest Are They!

MARGARET PLUNKET RAPER

OH , blest are they who trust in God
Throughout the long dark night;
Who feel the morning of His love,
E'er they behold its light!
And blest are they who wake with Him,
And find their faith renewed;
Who quench their thirst at living springs
Love points along the road;
Who do not doubt God's promises
Made new from day to day,
But take sweet comfort to their hearts—
Oh, calm and blest are they!
They wait in quietness and peace
Till God reveals His plan,
And strive with patient faith and hope
To see the perfect man.
