By Psalms and Hymns. II. My spirit on Thy careHenry Francis Lyte (17931847)
(Psalm xxxi.)
M
Blest Saviour, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For Thou art Love divine.
On Thee I calmly rest;
I know Thee good, I know Thee just,
And count Thy choice the best.
Thy will they all perform;
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
It must be good for me;
Secure of having Thee in all
Of having all in Thee.
