Light in the Valley ‎#179

179. Shirland

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

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.

3 Whate'er events betide,
Thy must be good for me
Secure of having thee in all,
Of having all in thee.

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