While thou, O my God……….
…..whelm me, no terrors appall;
The wiles and the snares of this world will but render
More lively my hope in my God and my all.
Yes, thou art my refuge in sorrow and danger,
My strength when I suffer, my hope when I fall,
My comfort and joy in this land of the stranger,
My treasure, my glory, my God and my all.
To thee, dearest Lord, will I turn without I ceasing,
Though grief may oppress me, or sorrow befall,
And love thee till death, my blest spirit releasing,
Secures to me Jesus, my God and my all.
And when thou demandest the life thou hast given,
With joy will I answer thy merciful call;
And quit thee on earth but to find thee in heaven,
My portion forever, my God, and my all!
