Lyics

My hope, my all, my Saviour thou,

To thee, lo!  now, my soul I bow;

I feel the bliss thy wounds impart,

I find thee, Lord, within my heart.



Be thou my strength, be thou my way,

Protect me thro' my life's short day,

In all my acts, may wisdom guide,

And keep me ever near thy side.



Correct, reprove, and comfort me:

As I have need, my helper be;

And if I would from thee depart,

Then clasp me, Saviour, to thy heart.



In fierce temptation's darkest hour,

Save me from sin and Satan's pow'r;

Tear ev'ry idol from thy throne,

And reign, my Saviour, reign alone.



My suff'ring time shall soon be o'er,

Then shall I sigh and weep no more;

My ransome'd soul shall soar away,

To sing thy praise in endless day.
