II. “My spirit on Thy care” | | By 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, | 5 |
| 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; | 10 |
| 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 | 15 |
| Of having all in Thee. | | | | |
