Yet thus my heart was griev-ed then,
my mind was much oppressed;
So simple and so ignorant,
e'en as it were a beast.
Nevertheless, by my right hand
thou hold'st me always fast,
And with thy counsel shalt me guide
to glory at the last.
What thing is there that I can wish
but thee in heav'n above?
And in the earth there nothing is
like thee that I can love.
My flesh and spirit both do fail,
but God wilt me restore;
For of my heart he is the strength
and portion evermore.
But lo, all such as thee forsake
thou shalt destroy each one
And those that trust in any thing,
saving in thee alone.
Therefore will I draw near to God,
and ever with him dwell;
In God alone I put my trust,
his wonders I will tell.
