My spirit on thy care,

by Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 252 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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