This my highest favor.

Found my blessed Saviour;
This the pleasure of all pleasures,
Rest in my dear Saviour. [Refrain]

Blessed, blessed Saviour;
And my soul to thy kind keeping
I commit, dear Saviour. [Refrain]

Comes to me, dear Saviour;

Through my blessed Saviour. [Refrain]

Toil for thee, my Saviour;
In the gloom there’s nothing dreary,
With thee, O my Saviour. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Touch my spirit with thy Spirit]
