My Spirit On Thy Care

Henry Francis Lyte (1834) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 31

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.
