O Jesus, Lord, I praise Thy love,
My Rest below, my Joy above;
My Calm in storms, my Peace in fear;
My Ease in toil, my Friend most dear.
Each early morn my Manna sweet
My cooling Shade thro’ noontide’s heat;
My springing Fount to satisfy
With depths of love that ne’er run dry.
My Guardian all the rugged way;
By night the Watch, my Shield by day;
No foe need now alarm my heart,
My Lord will ne’er from me depart.
By Thy kind hand so gently led,
My joy is in Thy steps to tread;
And as I go I’ll gladly sing
Till heaven shall with Thy praises ring.
