Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 Commit thy soul to Me, the Faithful One;
Roll on Me now the burden of thy care;
Thou hast found pardon through My dying Son;
Now shall thy soul find peace and freedom there.

2 I know Thee, Lord, whom I have trusted now;
And am persuaded Thou canst keep the whole:
I have committed; Thou hast heard my vow;
Thou dost accept: O keep my trusting soul!

3 Kept by the power of God! upon my heart
Inscribed henceforth shall be this golden word,
Which means that Christ and I shall never part;
Kept to salvation by the mighty Lord.

4 The Lord thy Keeper then! ‘tis writ for thee
By night and day—wayworn and feeble sheep,
Without, within, He shall thy Guardian be
And e’en to endless ages He shall keep.
