Lyics

O Lord I do delight in thee,

And on thy care depend;

To thee in ev'ry trouble flee,

My best, my only friend.



When all created streams are dry'd,

Thy fulness is the same,

And I with this am satisfy'd,

And glory in thy name.



Why should the soul a drop bemoan,

Who has a fountain near;

A fountain, which will ever run

With water sweet and clear.



He that has made my heav'n secure,

Will here all good provide;

While Christ is rich, can I be poor,

His own beloved bride!



O Lord I cast my care on thee,

I triumph and adore;

Henceforth my great concern shall be

To love and serve thee more.
