This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 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 glory know.

 
 3 

Father, whate'er of earthly bliss

Thy sovereign hand denies,

Accepted at Thy throne of grace,

Let this petition rise:

 
 4 

Give me a calm, a thankful heart,

From every murmur free;

The blessings of Thy grace impart,

And let me live to Thee.

 
 5 

Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine

My life and death attend,

Thy presence through my journey shine,

And crown my journey's end.
