My spirit on thy care,Blest Saviour, I recline;Thou wilt not leave me to despair,For thou art love divine.

In thee I place my trust,On thee I calmly rest;I know thee good, I know thee just,And count thy choice the best.

Whate'er events betide,Thy will they all perform;Safe in thy breast my head I hide,Nor fear the coming storm.

Let good or ill befall,It must be good for me,Secure of having thee in all,Of having all in thee.
