The Psalter ‎#202

202. Guidance and Glory

1 In doubt and temptation I rest, Lord, in Thee;
My hand is in Thy hand, Thou carest for me;
My soul with Thy counsel through life Thou wilt guide,
And afterward make me in glory abide.

Chorus:
My God, I will extol Thee
And ever bless Thy Name;
Each day will I give thanks to Thee
And all Thy praise proclaim.

2 In glory Thou only my portion shalt be,
On earth for none other I long but for Thee;
My flesh and heart falter, but God is my stay,
The strength of my spirit, my portion for aye. [Chorus]

3 All they that forsake Thee must perish and die,
But near to my Saviour most blessed am I;
I make Thee my refuge, my Lord and my God;
Thy grace and Thy glory I publish abroad. [Chorus]
