By Psalms and Hymns. II. “My spirit on Thy care”

Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847)

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.
